    The writer‚ Phillis Wheatley‚ uses many descriptive details about the natural world in her poem. She compares the sun setting and the new evening with many rural details. For example‚ in line two‚ she says: "The pealing thunder shook the heav’nly plain;" She is referring to the empty plains of a rural area. I also wondered how the poem would sound if she chose to praise the evening using details of an urban setting. You could easily use urban setting details as well as using rural setting details

    Station of the Metro” by Ezra Pound Comment: I am surprised when I saw the “poem”. I didn’t know it’s allowed to only have two lines. But I think it is pretty though.

I think it’s the perfect word to use. Fun fact: In the poem‚ Pound describes a moment in the underground metro station in Paris in 1912; Pound

    Melissa Hoang 3Poetry#1 Edgar Allan Poe’s poem “Alone” is the real reflection of how his life had been.
