themselves. He often uses obscure, foreign, or invented words throughout his writings. He has a unique individuality. A lot of Whitman’s writings explain that others will not be understood no matter what we try or how hard we try. He often stays away from rhyme schemes and even poetic devices. He does although use meter. Emily Dickinson

In this poem, the rhyme scheme AABA remains constant for the first three stanzas. In the fourth stanza, the rhyme scheme changes from AABA to AABB. The last line is repeated. Frost, wants the reader to understand the importance of “miles to go before I sleep”. Frost repeats this line of poetry because he wants the reader

The poem Perhaps by Vera Brittain captivates, as well, it portrays being genuine sincere. The writer reveals so much emotion and feeling with her words, which is clearly able to predict based upon the poem. When read, this poem shows compassion as well as hidden sorrow in every stanza. The words written in this poem perfectly align beautifully to make an extraordinary and insightful piece of literature. Brittain is an exceptional writer and this shows all throughout the poem with her use of punctuation

similar metrical patterns, such as in the ninth stanza where the second line reads, “The restless pulse of care” and the fourth line reads, “That follows after prayer.” (Longfellow 576). The tone is also aided by the rhyme scheme. The second and fourth line always share the same end rhyme, however the first and third lines do not.

Both Poets write about the isolation of the individual in their poetry Compare and contrast two poems, one by each poet, taking account of the methods which each poet uses to write about the isolation of the individual. Both poets write about the isolation of the individual in their poems An Old Man’s Winter’s Night and Man And Dog. Frost depicts an elderly individual who is isolated form others because of the harshness of the natural environment around him. Whilst Thomas depicts a nomadic individual

thoughts even after his death (line 1-2). Also note that Smith uses an imperfect rhyme scheme on the even numbered lines. An imperfect rhyme scheme occurs when the final consonant sounds in two words are the same but the vowel sounds are different. She carefully chooses the words “moaning” and “drowning” in line 2 and 4, “dead” and “said” in line 6 and 8, and “moaning” and drowning” in lines 10 and 12. I believe this simple rhyme scheme produces an even flowing poem that effectively expresses characteristics

and there are routines to follow or actions that we repeat often; this is captured by the reoccurring rhyme scheme which follows an ABAB CDCD. This perfectly captures everyday life we do not realize the routine we follow, alike the rhyme scheme which is clearly felt throughout the poem but isn’t noticed until a second reading or closer inspection of the poem. In addition, the use of a repetitive rhyme scheme shows a sense of mundanity, representing how the things (animals) in the poem are objectified

The power of love and emotion is evident in Lord Byron's poems, "She Walks in Beauty" and "So We'll Go No More A-Roving." Because of their consecutive placement in the book, "She Walks in Beauty" and "So We'll Go No More A-Roving" tell a story of a relationship.
