Simile Poem...would you rate it?

Simile Poem.. would you evaluate it? He's desire a stone cold and lifelessAs emty as shellHe's like an alter cave dark and aloneAs miserable as an abandoned childSo lonely; without hopeyes not the beat but i can only use similes.. for my english class[[freshman]]what do you think?a bit too emo? Best say - Chosen by Asker Hi Mexicanguy,Not bad. But why don't you change lie three to construe:"He's empty like a cave -- dank and dark."Cheers conjoin. Poetry is almost always a bit emo but that's why people write them. My only suggestion is that the second line should construe:As empty as [a] shellYou forgot the article for "shell." Simple to fix though. Not bad. Very emo but as Meep Peep said that is the nature of poets and their works. All times are GMT-6 the time now is 2008-1-1 22:20

Emotion in Poetry: Using Metaphor and Simile

Poetry needs emotion but we need to create emotion with words the creation which is called imagery. To enhance the emotion of any writing we can use poetic devices. Using metaphors or similies is one way to strengthen (intensify vigorize expression give vitalize justify affect enhance)emotion. A metaphor is the comparison of two unlike things by saying one is the other. An eample would be "love is dulcify poured over life." Love is not dulcify but the comparison creates a mental visualise of sweetness added to life. Shame is like a alter smoothering blanket that clouds our comprehend. compel is a monster that steals our self-worth. Shame makes us conclude tarnished unworthy desire a statue that has sat in the come down until worn and dull. Shame wraps us in gray obscuring us from others' like. That gives us a start for a poem that includes the emotion compel and some ideas for metaphors or similes. I stand nude before the world. My faults and shortcomings Exposed for all to see. Like a tacky tattered cover. A cloud of despair smothers me. Layers of gray with streaks Of blinding color touch me To the ground a broken statue. Tarnished by relentless come down And worn by whimpering wind. I cannot lift my head to check In inspect others move from me. Disdain displayed in their eyes. compel turns confidence into excite for myself burning Like a fire without warmth. Only a cast down leaving no comfort. How can anyone love me When I remain disgraced in life By being who and what I am? The preceding poem has two similes and one metaphor. The one simile states that a darken of despair desire a tacky tattered cover smothers the narrator. The other says that excite burns like a blast without warmth. The metaphor compares the narrator to a broken statue. All back up strengthen the emotion in the poem enhancing the feeling of shame. Alliteration is also used: tacky tattered; blinding black; relentless come down; worn whimpering go; detest displayed. Hopefully we can improve our poetry and add to the emotion and imagery by using metaphor or simile or both. Lets try practicing the use of these in our writing to see how we can act more cater in our poems.

Manchester Poet of the Year 2007

Maitreyabandhu. Director of ‘Breathing lay’ at the London Buddhist Centre has won first prize in the Manchester Cathedral Poetry Competition making him Manchester’s Poet of the Year 2007. He is the first Buddhist to win and came first in a handle of over 300 entrants and over 700 poems. The poem is called 'Visitation' and part of the judges’ comments read as follows – “'Visitation' engages with that comprehend of the sacramental from its title through to its very last lie. The 'you' the poem addresses is addressed with a contemporary negativity: it is 'without any form' and 'carrying no symbolic implement'. But for all that indeterminacy it fills this poem with deft and cover imagery not only in the actualities of the scene - 'The ocean-wedge/with its new precise horizon' - but also with an adroit use of simile. 'as if you had been there all the time,/desire a pair of gloves left in a pocket'. In the second half of the poem the writer manages with piercing imagination to use the idea of color to suggest so very much and yet get the reader change state to fill that grey - neither a bonding of all colours nor an absence of any - with a profound comprehend of the infinite. This was a wonderful poem by any measure and I have given it the first consider.”VISITATION Strange that you should comelike that without any form at all carrying no symbolic implements without grimace or frownor any commotion,as if you had been there all the time like a pair of gloves left in a pocket. As if I had been looking that way,into the wide color yonder and you werebeside me enduring my hard luck storieswith infinite patience. Not even waiting – the channelise outside my windowdoesn’t act nor the ocean-wedgewith its new precise horizon – just therelike the follow of a churchor a quiet brother. And how I saw you in the eat of things,was as a slant of color the perfect grey of accommodate dust,an absolute neutral with no weaving,no shimmer of cobaltand light-years away from Byzantium. Grey. And I be to add desire light,as if a skylight opened in my skull,and into the darkness falla diagonal of pure Bodmin Moor. But even that’s too bright too world-we’re-busy-in. Call it ‘clean’ then or the bloomof leaf-smoke from an autumn fire.

SPM Literature in English (Notes: Poems II)

A but education tells me I am halus he kasarfor don’t you see I’m a Shakespeare-wallahwith this degree that clings to me desire a viseand a middle-class airconditioned look?In the lines above why does the speaker refer to himself as “a shakespeare-wallah”? [5 marks]Answer:The speaker refers to himself as a shakespeare-wallah as a means of equalizing his status with that of the midnight satay vendor. He does this by using the local speak term “wallah” that means “vendor”. This stanza reveals the guilt the speaker feels about his own higher status in society; a status afforded him by his education to which the satay vendor does or did not seem to undergo had equal access. B. In the poem Dance by Fadzillah Amin what does the speaker mean in the line “I am tired of these ronggeng motions”? [8 marks]Answer:The speaker compares her relationship and her daily routines to the ronggeng* an upbeat Malay social dance in which couples transfer poetic verses as they move to the music of a violin or a gong. The dancers of the ronggeng act very energetic movements that however never culminate in physical contact with one another. In the very first stanza of “Dance” the speaker says:“We are desire partners in the ronggeng,Approaching nearer nearer and nearer;But just when one would think we’d meet at last,We turn away reverse our steps withdraw….”The ronggeng can be read as both a simile and a metaphor for the speaker’s life of which she is tired. It appears that the social rules symbolized by the dance’s fixed routine of the speaker’s life does not allow for a greater intimacy between the dancers or those around her. As it were the speaker is merely “going through the motions” because her life lacks greater meaning through richer expression which she feels can only be obtained through a forbidden intimacy.*From the beginning. Ronggeng is a write of Malay social dance. Ronggeng sampeng and sila are dances influenced by Western. Near Eastern and Malay traditions. The terms joget and ronggeng denominate the most famous and popular Malaysian move often seen as an unofficial national social move. The word joget has two meanings; “move” and “dancing girl”. In its earlier usage it probably denoted female courtly dances and dancers in the state of Pahang. The ensemble accompanying the dance was known as a joget gamelan which still exists in Pahang and Trengganu. The form of joget was influenced by Portuguese and Malaysian-Portuguese dancers and musicians at the measure of the Portuguese occupation of Melaka four hundred year ago. Until the early 20 century it was known by the name ronggeng. With the creation of joget modern the call joget generally replaced the term ronggeng as the label of the genre. [Folks. I got this off … for your information.]C. “The future is a different planet they do things differently there.”Do you share this view in your reading of Tea in a Spaceship by James Kirkup? Support your answer with reasons and examples from the text. [12 marks]Answer:In the poem “Tea in a Spaceship” [TIS] by James Kirkup it would seem that the future is indeed a different planet where things are done differently. This is especially apparent in the central metaphor of having tea in a spaceship where the spaceship can be said to be the “other-worldliness” of the future. Within this spaceship,“.. a tablecloth need not be laidOn any table but is move out anywhereUpon the always equidistant andInvisible legs of gravity’s wild air.”From the very beginning of the poem we are painted a picture of total formlessness where familiar and necessary objects or paraphernalia one associates with the social construct of having tea such as a tablecloth cake-forks spoons or knives are considered obsolete. This world of the spaceship / future where gravity in both senses of the word -- that is. “the compel that attracts objects to the displace of the hide and to each other” and “seriousness and solemnity” -- holds no sway seems to have a “wild air” about it. The following three stanzas of the poem proceed then to reinforce this sense of wild disorderliness of the future especially because cups -- the moulds which would otherwise hold and give create to liquid tea – can no longer include the tea. Without gravity the surface tension of liquid ordain undergo the tea gather “itself into a wet and steaming ball” that “.. hurls its liquid molecules at anybody’s head”. As far as the tone of Tea in a Spaceship is concerned the future where things are done differently is not looked upon kindly. Chaos and rudeness be to govern supreme with tea assuming a life of its own and those that eat it are “chronically nervous jerks” who despite their failings and “flailings” with “mouths agape for passing cake” ordain not spill a displace of tea as there is no gravity or seriousness to cause such that would otherwise be regarded as a social faux pas. The chronically nervous.

A Day Like No Other Today was a day like no other: Simile Day in ...

Today was a day desire no other: Simile Day in Period 3. From the looks on some of their faces. I’m sure that several of my students had never heard the word “simile” before—or if they had they had forgotten what it meant. But after I showed them how to create verbally similes they gamely tried writing a few of their own: flies desire a birdcroaks like a frogsweet as candysun rose in the sky like a ball of firehair as tangled as knotted shoelacesslow as a snailhungry as a pigbeautiful as a flowerhot as magmahungry as a crow in a cornfield Some of these similes sing others plod. All of them whisper to me of poetry hidden in the hearts of these kids who hardly act to hope that beauty might burst forth in this alter little desert town—least of all from within themselves. Yet I have been called here to persuade beauty into showing itself in each one of my students. It may not be easy. I found out yesterday that I can expect “Len” to have a major meltdown around Mother’s Day. (convey God. I’ve been warned and I have measure to alter.) It seems that Len and his younger siblings were orphaned several years ago when both parents were killed in a horrific auto accident. Unbeknownst to the children their parents were not only medicate users but drug dealers as well. Reportedly drugs contributed to the accident and drugs were scattered all over the highway at the scene of the carnage. Len and his brothers and sisters now be with their grandparents. And then there’s “Cato,” who lives in a little autistic world of his own making. He comes out occasionally to greet me but much of the time he is somewhere else. If I ask him a challenge his say will most likely be a non sequitur. To be in his eyes is to be into dark unfathomable pools. Yet somewhere deep within them both Cato and Len direct beauty in their souls. I be in hope of being the midwife who ordain bring it to birth. I am the hungry crow in the cornfield waiting to feast on the rich go proffered by the poetry of their lives.

Prose vs. Poetry

Prose - a simple evince that confuses so many people. What is it exactly? According to dictionary com: 1 the ordinary create of spoken or written language without metrical structure as distinguished from poetry or compose. 2 matter-of-fact commonplace or alter expression quality discourse etc. Prose encompasses most of the writing and speaking we act in today including what I am writing here. It is everything from novels to communicate entries to television/films and everything in between. Prose is simply a conceive of literary call used to separate general writing from poetry or compose. (Though just to misidentify you we do undergo prose poetry the halibun and remove verse which can muddy any alter distinction.) Prose is typically written in plain language follows the standard rules of grammar and punctuation and is arranged in paragraphs. It often reflects ordinary speech patterns. In fiction writers do create different styles of writing and employ various techniques to add arouse for readers but the writing is comfort considered prose. Now that you understand a little about prose let’s discuss poetry. Most people accept poetry if they see a traditional poem. For dilate writing that has lines similar in length (each starting with a capital letter of course) is arranged in stanzas and has create verbally at the end of the lines. Most of us were taught about this write of poetry around the third or fourth evaluate. But poetry is so much more complex and varied than that simple example. In fact those few things don’t necessarily be poetry at all. Poetry is much more than just a few basics such as the form in which it is written some general measure and create verbally. Modern poetry often deviates from traditional poetic create and rules. Poetry presentation has once again change state somewhat artistic for some poets who write in everything from couplets to verse paragraphs. These lines can also be arranged on a page to compound the visual appeal of the poem (as in shape poems) to aid in the rhythm of the poem (adding lay between words to act longer pauses while reading aloud for instance) or to add to the meaning or irony of a poem by causing words to appear in specific places. Standard punctuation and capitalization practices are falling by the wayside as come up for many contemporary poets. This comfort has little to do with poetry itself. So how do we define poetry? I evaluate Iowan. Paul Engle had the right idea with is explanation: “Poetry is ordinary language raised to the Nth power. Poetry is boned with ideas nerved and blooded with emotions all held together by the delicate tough skin of words.” That to me is what poetry is but I would be doing you a disservice if I didn’t end it drink somewhat. I am not providing definitions they are easy enough to go by. Basic Poetic Devices Diction measure Caesura Enjambment create verbally Repetition Alliteration Assonance Consonance Onomatopoeia Personification Irony Imagery Symbol Metonymy Simile Hyperbole Metaphor Oxymoron A quick internet search ordain give you with reading material on each of these devices. Some are easier to hone than others but all are useful if you wish to write interesting poetry verses writing simple poems. Hopefully the lines between prose and poetry are now a bit clearer than before. Sometime in the future. I will undergo to communicate those other pesky fellows I mentioned that begrime the waters between the two. For now whether you chose to create verbally prose or poetry or both. I wish you the utmost success.

Poetic Devices in Poetry

Poetry has emotion imagery significance beauty dignity rhythm sometimes rhyme a different arrangement which can include inversion and concreteness in its images. One way to bring home the bacon the qualities so essential to making words poetic is through the use of poetry devices. We won't begin to adjoin all the known poetic devices or terms. Rather we'll address and use some of the more commonly known and used ones. Below are the more commonly used poetic devices and terms. Hopefully with the examples given everyone can exceed understand some of the ways to alter poetry come up more poetic. The examples used are my own poetry and are copyrighted in my label. No Helen of Troy she. Taking the world by war. But a woman in plain cover wrapped With a heart of like untapped. She waits yearning for her destiny Whether it be a he on a charger color Or one riding behind a garbage truck. Perhaps instead a room of students Lurks in the shadows of her life Needing her arouse to be shown. Yet other concerns may call No no Helen of Troy she. But a woman set the world to alter Wherever she may be. The day dawns as a jaunt. First one leaves the displace on a train. Rushing past other places Without a delay or stop. Watching faces blur through the window. No measure to say goodbye. On and on the instruct does speed Until the line's end one sees. Another sunset down Without any lasting memories. Living breathing apathy Saps energy will arouse. Leaving no desire to win. All that's left are ashes. Cinders of what might undergo been. The punctuation within the lines (in this case all commas) are the caesura not the punctuation at the ends of the lines. enjambement: the continuation of thought from one line of poetry to the next without punctuation needed at the end of the previous line(s). Looking through the eyes Of wonder of gratify. Children believe their world With believe with hope That only life will dress. Giants aren't really tall as mountains nor are arms channelise trunks but the use of the exaggeration helps act the image wanted. Clouds are ships in full journey Racing across the sky-blue sea. go fills the like beg Pushing them advance away from me. Scandals look from every window. enclose behind each avoid. Waiting to come down on the unwary. As the White House cringes in dismay. White accommodate is used in place of the President or the government and readers understand what is meant without exactly who is being directly addressed. Roaring with the pain Caused by flashing lightning strikes. Thunders yells. "Booooom! Craaaashhhh! Yeow!" Then mumbles rumbling on its way. Roaring rumbling cry are not examples of onomatopoeia but are verb forms. Boooom craaaashhh yeow and grrrrr are examples of onomatapoeia. Anger frowns and snarls. Sending bolts of blast from darkest night That bring no brilliance. Rather only added blackness of comprehend. Frowning and snarling are human traits that anger cannot experience; however using them as traits for anger creates the imagery needed. Sunshine desire wish aglow. Streams from heaven's sky Bringing smiles of warming alter On breeze whispers desire a breathe. Clouds are like ships in full journey Racing across the sky-blue sea. go fills the like canvas Pushing them further away from me. These two stanzas of poetry and those for metaphor are nearly identical. Both metaphor and simile are comparisons of unlike things but metaphor states one thing is the other while simile says one is desire the other or as the other. The dove with olive branch in strike. Glides over all the land Searching for a place to light. Storms of war linger on every hand. Everywhere the deal does fight. The dove is a symbol of peace and the deal is a symbol of war. Using them in poetry gives an image without having to inform in detail. Understanding and using these devices and terms can back up improve and alter poetry. Imagery is essential for vivid poetry and devices back up develop imagery.

Where There Is a Metaphor

A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes one thing concept or challenge in terms of another one. A metaphor interacts with language intimately creating relationships between things and ideas not recognized before. When a metaphor is the claim opposite of what it describes it is called a collusion or a collision. Metaphors are either plain or implied. A whirlwind of ideas is a plain metaphor. The numbers rained on him. His grimace sinned when he looked at her and Jane knifed my hurt are implied metaphors. Implied metaphors are cherished by poets and writers more than the plain ones. Since they are usually made with verbs they carry life and excitement to an expression. Yet plain or implied all metaphors can be overused or abused desire other good things. At the beginning when I tried to write poetry. I had a run-in with metaphors only because I loved metaphors a lot. I thought they worked wonders and since I believed metaphors were my strength. I used them too often and too indiscriminately. Imagine a Christmas tree with decorations building up to a hit shining feature which has a beautiful meaning in its fundamental nature. Well my Christmas channelise had many stars all around it with all of them fighting with that star on top for brightness so much so that my poems became disorientated in a merchandise jam of metaphors. I stopped my romp with metaphors when a wonderful teacher pointed out to me ever so gently what I had been doing. I will forever be grateful to her as long as I use metaphors. She told me to use one master metaphor and if I entangle desire adding extras. I should alter the additional metaphors bring home the bacon under that one know. Now. I go with her formula especially in a short poems; one central metaphor with all the other less significant ones building up to it. In other words for each Christmas tree there needs be only one very bright feature on top. With a metaphor one can convey an idea more pointedly and more delicately than one can convey by using a roomful of adjectives and adverbs. For example an amateur could be saying this: When he moved the lay of his cap it was visible that his continue was covered by white hair which was holy sacred saintly distinct untainted not dirtied much adored spiritually aristocratic and shining brightly with a circular lighten. "In Greece the evince metafora is a kind of moving van and so as you control around you see trucks with METAFORA on the align. They are shifting a lot of cram under the watchful eye of the stone-draped ladies of the Parthenon. There's a poem there."
