about poetry the first thing you may think about is the complexity of poetry. Typically I think people are afraid of literary works such as poetry and dismiss poetry because they find it to be too complicated. Many people don’t like to read things that actually require them to think about the text and deem them complicated because they don’t want to take the time to see what the author is trying to say. However‚ if they were to take their time and dissect the poem they would find that poetry isn’t

Reflecting on the Past and Future Poetry is a way to express a deeper truth and to move people or make them feel emotion. This is true in “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost and “Combing” by Gladys Cardiff. In “The Road Not Taken” the speaker is at a fork in the road and must choose a path. They are both worn down about the same and he tells himself he could always come back for the other. The deeper meaning is the speaker has a dilemma and must make a decision. In “Combing” a mother is

It compares the bored‚ lazy moods of the animals to the lively‚ adventurous mood of the jaguar‚ which does not see this confinement as a way of stopping him behaving as if it were in its natural environment. The poet’s clever use of techniques such as similes and metaphors clearly puts an image in our minds of the animal’s ways of life and gives an accurate

Love is “an intense feeling of attraction”. This is how Webster’s Dictionary defines love. It is much more complicated than that though‚ or maybe we just make it out to be more complicated‚ either way it’s hard to explain. A few words that characterize love for me are sacrifice‚ safe‚ comfortable‚ commitment‚ selfless‚ trust‚ and bond. Love is more than just a word‚ it’s an action. It is accepting and appreciating someone for who they are regardless of their flaws and trusting that you’ll stick by
