Tanka's and Triolet's.

Advantages: Two new poetry forms.
Disadvantages: ??????????????

...written essay or thoughts on poetry in general. My regular readers will know that I’m a great lover of this Art and write a fair bit myself.
Lately I have been looking on poetry sites and dabbling in a few new forms of poetry. This is a great way to widen your knowledge and maybe even find a style that suits you perfectly. I write mostly rhyming poetry by choice, but I have tried my hand at Haiku and found the concept challenging.
...
...my welcome. Both of these poetry terms are ones I have never heard of. I think they both set a good challenge, although I imagine most people would find the second easier. One pointer here is to remember to use a simple word at the end as you have to get it to rhyme and it needs to flow.

I’m not setting a challenge but would be interested to see the result if anyone tries these.
Once again, thanks for reading.

Ding-Gedicht Tradition: From Rilke to Kim Ch'un-su

Advantages: Kim Ch'un-su's notable poems
Disadvantages: None

...exerted the strongest influence on poetry in the post-liberation period. The vast majority of poems known as poems of being [chonjae ûi si] or poems investigating interiority [naemyôn t'amgu ûi si] owe an enormous debt to Kim Ch'un-Su poetic explorations." THE SNOW FALLING ON CHAGALL'S VILLAGE contains a selection of translated poems (arranged in chronological order, but with no dates) spanning Kim Ch'un-Su's long and prolific career, from his first ...
...his latest, THE WOODS THAT SLEEP STANDING (1993). Anyway, in this essay, I will focus and located the subject of reviewing merely on theme of love that comes as the plastic essence of his symbolic diction of the flower in Kim's poetry. Let us begin with his Sketches of a Flower. He wrote: "… Even amidst the flames of love,/ I was lonely and sad.// Flower, having burned/ without love,/ you smile in immortal/ nakedness.// O thousand eyes of radiant ...

Figures of Speech in Poetry

Advantages: They create vivid imagery
Disadvantages: They are sometimes hard to identify

...Armitage, whilst Carol Ann Duffy's poetry is published by Macmillan. Gillian Clarke is published by Carcanet Press Ltd. Analysing poetry obviously involves more than just discussing figures of speech; style, structure, rhythm, and rhyme are all important. Being able to recognise figures of speech will, however, help in understanding the imagery and meaning of a poem and encourage students perhaps to use figurative language in their own writing. ...

Review of Poetry Analysis

'The Emulation' by Sarah Egerton

Advantages: A fabulous poem about women and their roles in society
Disadvantages: None

...from the standard forms of poetry around this times. The main ideas that must be explored are the language features, the form of the poem and the themes which are consistent through the poem. The author of 'The Emulation' is Sarah Egerton. This is the first key idea that must be addressed about the stereotypical poetry of the 18th century, because it was not a common occurrence for women to be accepted in creative roles of society, such as poets. ...
...as a base to her poetry of 'The Emulation'. This is a combination of the language features, the structure and form, and the consistent themes which she has used through the poem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for reading. Jodie xxx I personally love this poem, and was thrilled that a question specifically about this poem came up in my A level exam the other week, ooooh hope I get a ...

Review of Poetry Analysis

London by Wordsworth and Blake

Advantages: Two great poets sentiments on the capital
Disadvantages: none, both great...

A comparison of 'London' by William Blake and 'Composed upon Westminster Bridge' by William Wordsworth. These two poems were written within eight years of one another, the first being 'London' in 1794 and then 'Composed upon Westminster Bridge' in 1802. They are both Romantics and typical of the style, both have an emotional and expressive freedom in the way they are written and a seemingly honest view of real life. Both poems have an immediate link ...
...related to London in the tittle, this means that even before reading the poem you would expect that London or some aspect of life in London would be a theme in both poems. London could be considered a major theme of both poems but for completely contrasting reasons; 'London's theme is more about the people of London and the conditions of the urban poor and their physical and spiritual misery. 'Composed upon Westminster Bridge' however, is a more ...

Essay on The Rime of The Ancient Mariner

Advantages: It is a very long rime
Disadvantages: It is a very long rime

Essay on The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Coleridge This was part of my first year Uni course. The hours I sweated on this lol. (I have also published this on the Helium site) The Rime of the Ancient Mariner was the opening poem of the first edition of the Lyrical Ballads (1798), published anonymously with William Wordsworth, as a joint volume of poetry. The construction of the Ancient Mariner is that of a narrative-based medieval ballad, ...
...regular quatrains, with a 8 syllable tetrameter structure, creating the impression that it is a product of oral tradition rather than a written culture. The use of short sentence structure and internal rhyme, as in, 'The ship was cheered, the harbour cleared', the use of simile, 'And listens like a three years child:' and repetition as in, below the Kirk, below the hill, below the lighthouse top', reported speech, "By thy long grey beard and glittering ...

The Water Sky

Advantages: It shows love's fragility.
Disadvantages: Seeing at the time didn't change it.

because there's plenty in it. I'll give you the poem first and then help with the images and their meaning at the end. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Water Sky ******************* We sit together eye to eye lost in labyrinths of love. Upon our balconies we sigh, overlooking blackness. We learn each other in a dream, floating softly face to face, upon the mysteries of time, across the distances of space. The evening light is growing dim and darkness closes over us, lost in wine and shadows thin beneath the water sky. - Steven Newit - 1979 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Analysis: ************ Like most poetry, 'The Water Sky,' has hidden depths. :) Here's a line by line anaysis of the imagery and ideas in the poem. Verse one: ************** 'We sit together eye to eye lost in labyrinths of love'. That would be ...

Review of Poetry

T.S. Eliot - Preludes

Advantages: This is poetry that sings. TS Eliot was a master of the language.
Disadvantages: Eliot was often purposely obscure, showing off his education

, at least until his conversion to Anglo-Catholicism, has, by some critics, been seen as a sort of personal search for something: perhaps, salvation, faith or hope.(2) This search is combined (in his poetry) with disillusionment and pessimism verging on hopelessness. We find this desolate landscape even in his early poetry, such as The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock, an analysis of which I will leave to others, and in Preludes, both published in the latter half of the 1910's. Preludes has several main themes running through each section, and techniques to remind us of the sordidness of the city and of those who pass their lives in it. The poem introduces us to stages of the night and day(3), starting with evening in part I, to morning in part II, the middle of the night into morning in part III, and back to evening in part IV. During this 24 ...

Personal Statement

Advantages: N/A
Disadvantages: N/A

included in those courses will be very beneficial to me in making the switch from A level to undergraduate level, and in some ways I feel undergraduate study will just be a continuation of some things of which I have already learnt. Having studied those things at high school I also feel I already have a wide variety of knowledge in my chosen subject areas, having already learnt a lot about poetry and novelistic skills in English and critical analysis in such things as film and the media. So far I have not worked anywhere that has required the skills that I hope to pick up at university having only been a barman and an administrator so far. However this has only pushed me further into thinking that English and writing is the road I want to go down and hopefully end up doing something I really like with it whether that be anything from freelance ...
