Poetry

Never Again Would Birds' Song Be the Same

The creativeness and rhyme which Frost put into the poem i felt added the affect of the beauty of the birds. The repetitive sounds of the poem show how Adam's love for Eve will be continous and longing in an unyielding form no matter what problems come their way. I liked this poem, because it put a smile on my face, it was a soothing reading and peaceful to the mind. The soft and smooth rhyme of the words had an effect on the visual effect.

In the Old Age of the Soul

This poem pretty much was opposite of what i took the last poem of Robert Frost, this poem was mostly sad and dreary. It made me think of my grandparents and how they are beginning to become forgetful and stop dreaming. I believe everyone should keep dreaming, no matter how old or how weak one may get. Dreaming opens the mind to great experience instead of closed minded with a boring, stubborn attitude. Ezra expresses the forgetfulness of old age to the readers and how it affects the mind.

The World Trade Center

David Lehmans poem expresses the negative and positive aspects of the twin towers and how they had the affects on people and their everyday daily lives. Throughout the poem, Lehman is more found of the building toward the end. This bombing event kind of reminds me of funerals, and how distant family comes together when only someone is either married or dies. This relation reminds me of that because throughout this poem, Lehman wasnt as fond of the buildings before there was a bombing. Whereas, when this tragic event happened he had more respect for the building and the "way the light hit the building, and the way they dissolved into the white skies." In society today, sometimes it takes a tragic event to appreciate things, buildings, or people. Which is a sad way of life, however that is the way society has unfortunalty become.
