Remember that

As most would know‚ poems aren’t actually written for that purpose. They are written to amuse and enlighten in a critical thinking way. Poems are like secret passages with deep meanings within the lines and rhythms; after being pulled apart and analyzed‚ they can leave your mind blown. I will be comparing “My Papa’s Waltz” by Theodore Roethke with another poem titled “Those

    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

    Poems of Literature The poem “Lonely Hearts” by Wendy Cope is a little too dramatic in my opinion. In the poem‚ she writes about a man who is seeking for someone to love and that will love him back because he is lonely. In the poem the lines “Executive in search of something new—Perhaps bisexual woman‚ arty‚ young‚ Do you live North London? Is it you?” (7-9) informed me that this guy is so desperate to find somebody that he would settle with pretty much anyone that came along. I believe that no
