’Both these poems are love poems with a twist.’ Do you agree? ’i wanna be yours’ by Cooper Clarke and ’Stop all the Clocks’ by Auden are both unusual romantic poems.

2017 Death The personification of death is clearly understood in John Donne’s‚ "Death‚ be not proud" as well as in Emily Dickinson’s "Because I could not stop for Death".

If I could change three things in the world it would totally be‚ no more bullies‚ poverty wouldn’t exist‚ the whole world got along. The world where we live in right now is a disaster.

Mine would be that if I could go back in time I would pick one of the gifts I am good at and focus on one of them. I am a multi-talented person. It must have been because as a pastor’s kid I had to be ready to function wherever my father

unpredictable‚ and tomorrow is not guaranteed. If I Could Tell You by W. H. Auden is a villanelle much like others using rhyme‚ repetition‚ and meter‚ that revolve around the main idea of the continuity time and its unforeseeable nature. The rhyming of the alternating ending lines‚ “Time will say nothing but I told you so” (1) and “If I could tell you I would let you know” (3) keep the rhyme scheme which stays on the central themes. “Time will say nothing but i told you so” shows that time keeps going
