Haiku Poem Changes

259 Words2 Pages

I made a lot of changes to my poems. For my haiku poem, I formatted it so it can be 5,7,5 syllables. For my ekphrasis poem, I tried to more specific. I talked about where the protesters are praying and their reason and I wrote more details about what happened after they prayed. For the ode poem, I made it first person because it strengthens the love I have for the painting. Before I just wrote descriptions about the poem, but it never really showed why I love the painting. For the rant/job poem, I changed the format of the poem into paragraphs, so it is easier to read. In addition, I added more problems about working at Office Depot. The changes that were made in the sonnet is the format of it. Before my sonnet did not match the format of each

    In this chapter, foster discusses a type of form called a Sonnet; which is simply 14 lines long and written almost always in iambic pentameter. Sonnets often take the shape of a square (since the height is the same length as the width). The shape makes them easier to recognize as sonnets since sonnets has few qualities that characterize them. Sonnets can be broken down into two types, a Petrarchan sonnet and a Shakespearean sonnet. Petrarchan sonnets uses a rhyme scheme that ties the first eight(abbaabba or abbacddc and sometimes abababab) , then is followed by a different rhyme scheme that unifies the last six(xyzxyz or xyxyxy).

    Before I knew all of the guidelines for this project, I had started to write. I wrote whatever I felt like writing. Then I had to decide if I was going to keep what I had written, or if I wanted to get rid of it and start all over. I liked what I had written, and I wanted to keep it, but I had to figure out if it was possible for me to shape it into following the structure of a vignette from House On Mango Street. Instead of analyzing others writing, I had to analyze my work to find my over arching theme, and see if I was using any figurative language

  • Similarities Between Shakespeare And Billy Collins

    568 Words  | 3 Pages

    In “Sonnet”, Billy Collins writes without meter or form, making it incredibly difficult to classify his sonnet into any one subtype. It is easily argued that this was his point, as he set out to write a satire of famous sonnets. There are a few lines that rhyme, typically these are right after each other to help the flow of the sonnet stay consistent. The varied line length and rhyme patterns draws attention to the poem and its lack of structure, leading the poem to feel like a conversation.

  • Trouble With Poetry

    629 Words  | 3 Pages

    In “The Trouble with Poetry”, and “Introduction to Poetry” Billy Collins focuses on the issue of forced inspiration, and the lack of appreciation readers, and aspiring poets have for the feel of poetry. In “Introduction to Poetry”, Collins mentions that some poetry enthusiasts try too hard to find the meaning of a poem; to try and decipher it like some ancient hieroglyphics, that they forget that poetry is not an essay and does not necessarily have to have a distinct message. In stanza’s seven and eight, the speaker states that poetry should be felt, and that what one poem means to a group of people could have a completely different effect on another group. In stanza eight “Feel the walls” is the speaker’s ways of saying that one should feel a poem and let the poem speak to them, instead of searching for what they believe to be its true meaning.

  • Comparing Love In Sonnet And Harryette Mullen's Dim Lady

    956 Words  | 4 Pages

    Her sonnet may have fourteen lines, but it does not follow a rhyme scheme or iambic pentameter (Mullen Lines 1-14). By breaking away from the standard conventions and structure of a sonnet, she creates a creative and sarcastic method of criticizing Shakespeare’s typical male speaker. Criticizing this classic speaker plays into Mullen’s criticism of sonnets that focus on love as a whole. Her sarcastic and comedic word choice directly contrasts Shakespeare’s, which permits her criticism. Shakespeare’s speaker focuses on the woman’s ugly features in order to bring out her personality (Lines 1-14).

  • Revised Poetry Response

    For my first revised poetry response I chose my response on “Scenes from the Playroom” by R.S. Gwynn because when I was reading through the poems that were assigned for that day it was the title that had quickly caught my attention followed by the second line of the poem. At first, from the title, I thought the poem would be a happy, uplifting poem about a child and their toys. However, that was not the case after I read the first two lines of the poem. This was when I knew the poem was going to be something I did not expect, which was true because instead I read a poem about two children and their psychotic tendencies that was shown through how they treated their toys and pets.

    In poems six through ten, I found many of the poems to have the same values and things that are important to me in them. The authors expressed many emotions, used comedy, and drew the readers’ attention to certain significant lines in the text. Each of the authors chose different ways to write their poems but in some of them the way they were written was part of the poem. Poems six through ten appealed to me more than one through five mostly because these were easier to understand and I found similar values as mine in the poems. Each one still carried a message in it somewhere even if some people interpreted it differently.

  • Sonnet 71 Figurative Language

    1351 Words  | 6 Pages

    William Shakespeare’s sonnets are closely related in the idea that the theme as well as the subject of the poem remain consistent. A distinctive factor among Shakespeare’s sonnets however, is that they each contain somewhat varying tones. Two specific sonnets that prove this are “Sonnet 71” and “Sonnet 73” respectively. Both sonnets refer to the same subject, what is seemingly the speaker of the poem’s lover or mistress. The theme of death and dying are ones which remain present throughout each text.

    It is in this setting we discover the protagonist occupied with a difficult day of tiring work. The tone of the sonnet amid the first stanza is tense, as though the protagonist is continually helping herself to remember the amount she needs to do in the day, and posting the errands in her mind so she doesn 't neglect to do any of them. The stanza also begins with “I’ve” which shows the necessity of her getting the work completed. It also shows how unwilling and forced she is to do the work. It appears that she is worried by her day by day schedule.
