"My Last Dutchess" In depth analysis

Mr.Joe — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 00:16:11 GMT

That's my last duchess painted on the wall, Looking as if she were alive. I call That piece a wonder, now; Fra Pandolf's hands Worked busily a day, and there she stands. Will't please you sit and look at her? I said "Fra Pandolf" by design, for never read Strangers like you that pictured countenance, That depth and passion of its earnest glance, But to myself they turned (since none puts by The curtain drawn for you, but I) And seemed as they would ask me, if they durst, How such a glance came there; so not the first Are you to turn and ask thus. Sir, 't was not Her husband's presence only, called that spot Of joy into the Duchess' cheek: perhaps Fra Pandolf chanced to say "Her mantle laps Over my lady's wrist too...

Two Amazing poems by D.L. Whited

reimon — Thu, 07 May 2009 23:16:11 GMT

Longing She rises up from restless sleep To greet another day She wonders if he thought of her As he started on his way The first thing on her mind was him And her love swells like a tide She always starts her morning out Wishing he were at her side She looks up with saddened eyes To catch a lonely stare The lost girl in the mirror sighs And brushes back her hair For just a brief few moments She smiles a secret smile Her finger reaches out to trace I love you, on the tile Memories so bitter sweet Go rushing through her head Thoughts of how he held her close As they shared the same soft bed Music, wine, and candlelight Making love at break of day Then the sadness of A brave goodbye As she slowly walked away ...

If I had to live my life over again

deepa — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 00:16:11 GMT

If I had to live my life over again, I'd dare to make more mistakes next time. I'd relax. I would limber up. I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I would take fewer things seriously. I would take more chances. I would take more trips. I would climb more mountains, swim more rivers. I would eat more ice cream and less beans. I would perhaps have more actual troubles, but I'd have fewer imaginary ones. You see, I'm one of those people who live seriously and sanely, hour after hour, day after day. Oh, I've had my moments. And if I had it to do over again, I'd have more of them. In fact, I'd try to have nothing else, just moments, one after another, instead of living so many years ahead of each day....

Poetry; the pit

Here's something for all you poetry lovers out there. http://guskova.ru/~mladich/I_G_Kovachich/jama_en Normally I'm not into poetry but the bleak (tragic) and almost surreal atmosphere on this one has left a very strong impression on me.

Poem Analysis paper outline due

Anonymous — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 16:23:40 GMT

I have an analysis due next week but the outline is due tonite at midnight and i am having some trouble coming up with a thesis statment. I am comparing or contrasting the portrayal of the women in the two poems My Last Duthchess and Porphyria's Lover Does anyone have an idea that may help me or do you know a site that might could help me but I don't want a whole paper already written or anything like that I just want an idea of how to get started. I think if I get a strong thesis statemnet and maybe a better understanding of these two poems I can probably ahndle the paper on my own.

world's shortest poem

Anonymous — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 00:16:11 GMT

Contrary to what is reported by many, the world's shortest poem is not Fleas (Adam Had 'em), though at one time it was the shortest. The world's shortest poem is by The Greatest, Muhammad Ali, and I believe it was delivered during one of his Harvard University graduation speeches. Though it was untitled, based on the content of the poem I believe we can title it Ali. the poem is Me, Whee!! There you have it, the world's shortest poem. Submitted by Ralph P. Taylor

can anyone read this poem n tell me what i have written about it correct or not? plus can u plz answer the questions below? BURNING OF THE LEAVES LAWRENCE BINYON chemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />> Now is the time for the burning of the leaves. They go to the fire; the nostril pricks with smoke Wandering slowly into a weeping mist. Brittle and blotched, ragged and rotten sheaves! A flame seizes the smouldering ruin and bites On stubborn stalks that crackle as they resist. The last hollyhock's fallen tower is dust; All the spices of June are a bitter reek, All the extravagant riches spent and mean. All burns! The reddest rose is a ghost; Sparks whirl up, to expire in the mist: the wild Fingers of fire are...

Oranges by Gary Soto

Anonymous — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 23:16:11 GMT

"Oranges" Gary Soto (1995) The first time I walked With a girl, I was twelve, Cold, and weighted down With two oranges in my jacket. December. Frost cracking Beneath my steps, my breath Before me, then gone, As I walked toward Her house, the one whose Porch light burned yellow Night and day, in any weather. A dog barked at me, until She came out pulling At her gloves, face bright With rouge. I smiled, Touched her shoulder, and led Her down the street, across A used car lot and a line Of newly planted trees,

Help with identifying the mood in this poem

Anonymous — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 00:16:11 GMT

Hi, I am just new to this studying poetry. I am suppossed to answer some questions regarding "Your Love, Dear Man, Is as Lovely to Me" translated by John L Foster this is it Your love, dear man, is as lovely to me As sweet soothing oil to the limbs of the restless, As clean ritual robes to the flesh of Gods, As fragrance of incense to one coming home Hot from the smells of the street. It is like nipple-berries ripe in the hand, Like the tang of grainmeal mingled with beer, Like wine to the palate when taken with white bread. While unhurried days come and go, Let us turn to each other in quiet affection, Walk in peace to the edge of old age. And I shall be with you each unhurried day, A woman given her...

Question on Foot of English Metric Poetry

florazheng1015 — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 00:16:11 GMT

Hello All, I am quite confused by the foot of English metric poetry. I would like to learn how to tell apart the stressed and unstress syllables. Is it according to the pronounciation of each word or what? I know there are many kind of foots, such as Iambic etc. If a sentence don't follow the foot, how to do? To change another synonymous word to substitute it ? It can be changed the order of words for the concern of foot and rhythm, can't it? WHAT a BAU- ti- ful GIRL==>What a PRET-ty Girl (right?) 1 / 2 / 1 /2 /2 /1==>1 /2/1/2 ? (1=the stressed, 2=unstressed , I capitalized the stressed syllables) .I was taught that I should accentuate words, such as noun, verb, adj, adv. and the words such as art. , prep, conj. are on the...

I think this poem is really good: plz read it! THE BOY AND THE GIRL A girl asks a boy: ,,Do you like me?" He says no. Then the girl asks: ,,Am I pretty?'' He answeres: ,,No." She keeps on asking: ,, If I go, would you cry for me?'' He says: ,,No." Then she asks: ,,Am I in your heart?" He says no.

I am a German speaker, so I have quite to ponder about what certain sentences mean. At the moment, I try to understand that poem. The actual aim would be to characterize Victorian poetry by referring to two poets and/or poems.
