Analyzing Lord Byron's Poetry

470 Words2 Pages

Lord Byron poems stood out to me the most but it was this one poem when he talked about how beauty this woman was to him. The way he described this woman in details I never heard anything like this before and he described her so well. In the poem Lord Byron is describing this lady. The lady is a beautiful lady that he’s seeing on a clear day. When his eyes first reach this lady she’s walking down a stair case. Lord Byron thinks the lady is beautiful inside and out, he also thinks that she is sweet and kind. Lord Byron will have you thinking about a girl that he likes or even someone he’s getting married to but he’s actually talking about his cousin. Most people would think that describing his cousin in a way that he did would be weird. Lord Byron said made a statement that said …show more content…

Some people like people from their looks but in reality it’s not all about the looks, it’s also about the way the person is altogether. In all honesty if the person has ugly ways you are not going to want to talk to them, you probably wouldn’t want anything to do with a person who treats you bad no matter how beautiful you think they are. I think as students in high school we don’t look at how sweet a person is, we look at how other people would feel and what they would say about you if you’re actually dealing with someone who isn’t as beautiful as someone else. We care way too much about what people think because we don’t want to get laugh but we don’t think about the other person whom may be getting laughed at because of the way they look. As a society I think we need to work on that. In other ways I think the way he talks about her is wonderful like I once said young dudes these days doesn’t talk about girls the way he did in this poem. I actually thinks another point in this poem because doesn’t talk the way that he did. I’ve

Internal Comments: No. While the poem certainly does have a lot of potential in relation to thematic significance, certain lines seem unnecessary and redundant. The author goes on a tangent about a notorious “her”, before jarringly switching back to the scene of the action. Because the submission is so short, it leaves the reader feeling confused and disoriented.

A variety of issues are examined in Dawe’s poetry, most of which, aren’t uniquely Australian. In ‘The Wholly Innocent’, the poet utilises the narrator being an unborn baby to express their opinion on abortion. The emotive language; “defenceless as a lamb” and comparisons of abortion to “genocide”, all turn this poem into a type of activism, for pro-life; a concept that is certainly not uniquely Australian; as abortion is only legal (on request) in 4 states and territories. These issues aren’t always directly referenced in Dawe’s poetry, much like in ‘The Family Man’, which chooses to explore suicide and it’s effect. The man who killed himself had no name - he was just a statistic, that had “all qualifications blown away with a trigger’s touch”.

The essay will consider the poem 'Practising' by the poet Mary Howe. It will explore how this poem generates its meaning and focus by analysing its techniques, metaphorical construct and its treatment of memory. The poem can primarily be seen to be a poem of missed opportunity. In this way is comes to form, alongside other poems of Howe's a study about a certain kind of loss and the recuperative efforts of memory, alongside the certainty of the failure of this recuperation.

Another portion of the text that is worth analyzing is whether or not the poet is a real person or a generalization about all or most poets. All of the lines in the poem use general text and never label a specific person. What’s interesting about the text is that without the title it would be nearly impossible to distinguish whether or not the person the poem is about is a poet or not. The way the text allows the reader to find a figurative meaning to the poem is by being vague enough and

‘For What It’s Worth’ by Buffalo Springfield has a logical message because it is referring to the Sunset Strip Riots that took place in Hollywood during the 1960’s.

Lord Byron in this work describes the beauty of women by comparing her external and internal features to unordinary objects. For that matter he uses metaphors, simile and personification. Lines 9 is great example of poet’s usage of metaphors: “Which waves in every raven tress”. The historical research of the time when the poem was written showed that back in those days the beauty standards were different, this is what Lord Byron portrait as a beautiful in his poem. Blond hair and pail skin was defined as beautiful, though the poet said compare women’s hair to a raven tress which is more of a dark colour, he states that this is what makes her face lighter,

Rina Morooka Mr Valera Language Arts Compare and Contrast essay on “The poet’s obligation”, “When I have fears that I may cease to be”, and “In my craft of sullen art” The three poems, “The poet’s obligation” by Neruda, “when I have fears that I may cease to be” by Keats, and “In my craft of sullen art” by Thomas, all share the similarity that they describe poets’ relationships with their poems. However, the three speakers in the three poems shared different views on their poetry; the speaker in Neruda’s poem believes that his poems which were born out of him stored creativity to people who lead busy and tiring life, and are in need of creativity, while the speaker in Keats’ poem believes that his poems are like tools to write down what

“Poetry Is Not a Luxury” (1982) intertwines feminism and poetry together. Author Audre Lorde says that for women, “poetry is not a luxury, but a necessity of our existence” (Lorde, 1982, pg. 281). In today’s society, women’s opinions aren’t really expressed, because it’s not widely accepted in this man-built world. Lorde’s quote “poetry is not a luxury, but a necessity of our existence” means that women should use their voices and channel their energy into poetry. Since poetry is accepted, women aren’t being deviant.

“Poetry is ordinary language raised to the Nth power. Poetry is bonded with ideas, nerved and blooded with emotions, all held together by the delicate, tough skin of words,”(Paul Engle). Poetry covers all spectrums of life, whether it encompasses morality, love, death, or finding ones true self. When reading poetry one may stumble across pure brilliance, words so powerful they have the ability challenge the mind. Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman have that such gift, and are nothing short of illustrious.
