suggestion of poems for poetry anthology (poems must be from different periods in time)?

Posted by admin on March 18th, 2010 and filed under poem anthology | 1 Comment »

the periods are Middle English, Elizabethan, Metaphysical, Neoclassical, Romantic and Victorian.
i want peoms that are easy to analyse and quite famous
just the name of the poem and poet and that should be it
(lazy much? xD)

You are not getting answers because you chose to insult potential responders. I am not easy to insult, so:

ME: Gawayne and the Grene Knight, author unknown, and not easy to analyse, but your teacher will not have read it. Everyone else will have chosen Chaucer.
Elizabethan: Atrophel to Stella, Sidney. At all costs avoid Spenser. Everyone else will have chosen a Shakespeare sonnet.
Metaphys: The Relique, John Donne. Personally, I prefer the Cavalier poets, but that’s not one of the choices.
Neoclass: You have to choose between Swift and Pope; I prefer the latter’s Essay on Man. Any portion of it would make for a fine analysis.
Romantic is easy — take something like "Tiger" from Blake or anything out of Byron’s Hebrew Melodies. Avoid Keats and Shelley.
Victorian: I should take Hugo (sigh), but my favorite here is Matthew Arnold. His "Shakespeare" sonnet is fine for analysis.

SPOKEN WORD: “BARACK OBAMA” by Estari

Rosa SAT so Martin could WALK. Martin walked so Obama could RUN. Obama ran so our children can FLY! “He won! He won!” we all cried.

This poem is an excerpt from my upcoming poetry anthology, “PhilosoFlow: I Could Be Wrong, But I Doubt It”. I have already published two poetry anthologies, since the filming of this particular video.

Can Someone Help Me Find The Figurative language In This Poem from "Spoon River Anthology" Please?

Posted by admin on March 13th, 2010 and filed under poem anthology | 2 Comments »

Spoon River Anthology
Homer Clapp
OFTEN Aner Clute at the gate
Refused me the parting kiss,
Saying we should be engaged before that;
And just with a distant clasp of the hand
She bade me good-night, as I brought her home
From the skating rink or the revival.
No sooner did my departing footsteps die away
Than Lucius Atherton,
(So I learned when Aner went to Peoria)
Stole in at her window, or took her riding
Behind his spanking team of bays
Into the country.
The shock of it made me settle down,
And I put all the money I got from my father’s estate
Into the canning factory, to get the job
Of head accountant, and lost it all.
And then I knew I was one of Life’s fools,
Whom only death would treat as the equal
Of other men, making me feel like a man.

Please help i cant seem to find any Figurative language and i have a presentation to do tomorrow! I’m not a procrastinator our teacher gave us theassignment 2day
Can you please tell me if its Personification or simile or metaphor or something and then state what setence it is.
I mean like using poetry Elements, simile, metaphor, personification.

Ok…so what is figurative language? When the writer uses images to get a point across. These images are seemingly irrelevant but the nature of these images produces a feeling for what the poet is saying.

"…Refused me the parting kiss,
Saying we should be engaged before that;
And just with a distant clasp of the hand
She bade me good-night, as I brought her home
From the skating rink or the revival."

This one instance between the poet and the girl paints a picture of what is going on between the two of them. the "distant clasp of the hand" and him bringing her home from the skating rink OR the revival emphasizes how she didn’t just refuse a kiss, but she is refusing him altogether.

"No sooner did my departing footsteps die away
Than Lucius Atherton,
(So I learned when Aner went to Peoria)
Stole in at her window, or took her riding…"

Lucius didn’t really take out Aner as soon as the poet left. He’s trying to say that in his absence Lucius was going out with Aner. When the poet says that Lucius "stole in her window" he is really saying that Aner’s affections were stolen from him.

"The shock of it made me settle down,
And I put all the money I got from my father’s estate
Into the canning factory…"

The poet puts his "father’s" money into a "canning factory". He doesn’t even have his own money to invest. And he invests it in a canning factory of all things. Here the poet uses his financial endeavor as a way to convey just how sad his life is.

That should be enough figurative language for ya.

SPOKEN WORD: “JUST LISTEN” by Estari

Posted by admin on March 13th, 2010 and filed under poem anthology | 20 Comments »

I know I can’t sing, but please just listen to the words. (The singing doesn’t last that long. LOL!) SPOKEN WORD: No one knows my name. No one to take my pain. Stuck in a timeless void. Desperate and paranoid…This is my original spoken word poetry. I hope your mind is open to it.

This poem is an excerpt from my upcoming poetry anthology, “PhilosoFlow: I Could Be Wrong, But I Doubt It”. I have already published two poetry anthologies, since the filming of this particular video.

What is that poem about Shakespeare that says he is ugly?

Posted by admin on March 9th, 2010 and filed under poem anthology | 4 Comments »

There is a poem in the back of a play or anthology or somesuch of Shakespeare’s work, that basically says something like ‘If his face was as beautiful as his writing… something something something… unfortunately it isn’t.’

Ach. If you know it you will know it. It basically says ‘look, the guy is ugly as hell, but he’s still pretty awesome, eh?’.

Any ideas?
Wow… cool answer. Unfortunately its not what I’m looking for – there was a poem written by a contemporary of Shakespeare, about him.

Poet/critic Robert Greene hated Shakespeare. His most famous lines are
"There is an upstart Crow, beautiful in our feathers, that, with his tiger’s heart wrapt in a player’s hide, supposes he is as well able to bombast out a blank verse as the best of you, and, being an absolute Johannes Factotum, is, in his own conceit, the only Shakescene in the country. Oh, that I might entreat your rare wits to be employed in more profitable courses, and let these apes imitate your past excellence, and never more acquaint them with your admired inventions."

You must seek and find.

My best suggestion is that if you are interested in this writer you just might want to by the book.

Good Luck.

What’s the best Title for my poem anthology book?

Posted by admin on March 6th, 2010 and filed under poem anthology | 4 Comments »

A.) Nature’s Anthology Book

B.) Nature’s Poetry Anthology Poetry Book

C.) The Anthology Poetry Book of Nature

D.) something else….

How about just simply naming it "Nature’s Poetry" I don’t see why anthology book needs to be in the title at all. So D is my answer, and so you will name it Nature’s Poetry or even Poetry from Nature
