Poem Summarizations
The Ride by Richard Wilbur, uses poetical devices such as rhyming. The first line and third line rhyme, while the second and fourth line rhyme with each other in each stanza. Also the writer uses many of the same vowel sounds such as "seemed" and dreamed", and "thanks" and "flanks". My first impression of this poem was to think about horses, but more modernly cars. While the title, called The Ride, is intriguing enough, he talks about steering and fears which can be related to cars. I look at this poem like he is dreaming of riding his horse but then he wakes up. So the picture I chose was this fancy sports car as a way to relate to his poem only in my sense I would be dreaming of cars like this. I also related horse power in a car's engine, to this poem.A Poem for the End of the Century by Czeslaw Milosz, does not use a rhyming scheme. The poem uses anastrophe for example: "Who without any need". This poem is in free verse. When I first read this poem, it made me think of just the world in general. Reflections on how the world works, everything wrong with the world, why I'm doing this assignment, and just how everything in life is chaos. The pictures I chose were pictures of g
I thought by the title, it would be a humorous food joke but it was describing the sea cucumbers. I took her as though in a personal war, only you can win the war and no one else. Reflections I had when I read it was that of like the perfect woman, he describes her as a beautiful gift brought into the world. To me, It's more of a story than a poem, and is almost written like one, except in poetic form. Untitled by Shannon White, uses Connotation, and does not use any rhyming scheme. I chose various pictures of the sunrise and sunset to give people an idea of the speaker's thoughts and views on sunrises. I though of the food cucumbers when I saw the title, but after reading through the whole poem, I discovered that the poem was indeed about sea cucumbers. Personal War by Laurie Picotte, uses the Heroic Couplet rhyming scheme while also rhyming vowel sounds throughout the poem. It made me think of different relationships at different ages and how they are compared. The pictures that represented this were pics of stressed out and depressed people to show how our society treats their own people in America mostly. It is also a lyric in the sense that he is expressing his feelings of a past relationship towards a woman. I thought it was a good poem and very enjoyable to read. I used mother nature and other pictures of roses to represent this poem. I thought the poem was pretty well thought out and got the speaker's point across.
