    A Poison Tree by William Blake can be interpreted to be a metaphor that explains a truth of human nature. I believe that this poem teaches how anger can be dismissed by kindness and friendliness‚ and nurtured to become a deadly ‘poison’. The opening stanza sets up everything for the entire poem‚ from the ending of anger with the “friend‚” to the continuing anger with the “foe.” Blake startles the reader with such clarity of the poem‚ which is often missed in Blake’s poems‚ and with metaphors that

    Literature “A poem is a composition written for performance by the human voice” (Ferguson 2026). The audience is to speak the words. One type of spoken poem is the Lyric. In lyric form‚ the audience reads the speaker’s words in a singsong voice. William Blake’s poem‚ “The Lamb‚” reads as a call and response hymn. Blake used voice‚ sentence structure‚ and allusion to convey a message of innocence and reverence to God. Blake voiced his words through a child speaker in the poem titled‚ “The Lamb

Blake believed that everyone needed to remember the innocence of childhood and the truth and beauty that can be seen in the world.

    The use of children is a prominent theme in William Blake’s poems. He sees the world through the eyes of a child and embraces the innocence of the young. He illustrates this style in poems such as "the lamb"‚ "the little black boy"‚ and "the chimney sweeper". The lamb really illustrates the innocence and purity of a young child. The boy questions the lamb as to where it came from and he expects the lamb to answer back‚ but it is obvious to the reader that the lamb cannot talk. As the boy receives

    I chose to write about‚ “The Sick Rose‚” by William Blake. I found this poem to be very interesting. It can be interpreted in many different ways. In a biography about symbolism by The Hutchinson Unabridged Encyclopedia‚ they point out the fact that Blake uses many words such as bed‚ worm‚ love‚ and joy. All of these words have a strong relationship with love and sex. However the poem is not all about love it is also about the worm that brings the disease about and destroys everything. When I first
