Poetry Reflection Blog
Poetry has a very big place/importance in my life. It is something that I do in order to express what I feel. Poetry carries a lot of importance in my life because there is no wrong way of writing poetry or specific format that you have to follow, that can limit your writing. It also tells a story with a deep meaning and it doesn't directly come out and say what it is about. That is why I believe that poetry does belong to everyone because each person writes poetry in a different way and about different topics/reasons. I know this because I have written/read a lot of poetry and none that I have read have ever been similar. Some poetry may have the same topics at times, but they are written for different reasons and in different ways. Poetry is an outlet that most people use to tell stories of certain times that they felt a certain way or just for fun and it something that belongs to everybody.
The life and experiences of a poet affects the poem he/she creates because most poets write about what they have experienced/been through as a way to express what they felt or still do feel about that time. Experiences of life that a person has been through are usually the best stories to write poems about because they have so much emotion that they are able to really connect with someone else. For example, Edgar Allen Poe wrote many poems about what he has been through in his life and many are well known poems. He wrote a poem called, "Annabel Lee," which is said to be written about his wife Virginia Eliza Clemm Poe, who had died. So as you can see, poems that poets right are inspired by their life experiences and some are exactly about them.
The poem that I chose that has been published about is "Fire and Ice" by Robert Frost. The structure and form of this poem contributes to its meaning because it talks about how he thinks are two good and possible ways that the world will end. Throughout this poem, he describes how the world will end and which one he agrees with, which turns out to be both. The impact that the rhyme has to this poem is that it makes certain words stick out more than others, so you sort of remember them more and gets you thinking as well. This poem uses a good amount of imagery and repetition. The impact that these have to the poem is that the imagery helps readers of the poem picture what the narrator is sort of seeing and listen to what he/she is saying. The impact that the repetition has to this poem is that it keeps repeating the words 'fire' and 'ice', which keeps getting you thinking about it and comprehend what is the meaning of it. The poem that I have written and chose to analyze is called, "Divided Pain & Beauty," which is my spine poem. The structure and form of this poem contributes to its meaning because it is made out of book titles, which is different and gets you thinking more because of its imagery and the fact that you have to use someone else's titles in order to make a story/poem. The impact that the words/phrases has on it is it makes the poem more mysterious and gets the reader to guess the meaning of it, which may be different from what I had in mind.
