Opium 9th stanza. Blaspheming 14th stanza. It was a shady story, very creepy, weird. It was very judgmental on other characters here and there. Slightly suspicious on other parts and read able over all might need to know a few words here and there, but over all good. It's effective in a way because it shows description, and explanations of some things throughout the poem.

Test by Sara Holbrook & Allan Wolf

"Your eyes lock on mine."-stanza 1

"Tests are less trouble for me since I have met you." -stanza 2

This poem is about love. its hard to understand because it the plot of this poem was is random and it doesnt give you a backround information what going on. This makes the writing style ineffective. The message is love can be seen at first sight. This is tge message because it the quotes above it shows that if they never had raken the test they wouldn't have fell in love.

Broken Sonnet

The poem was OK but made no sense. A interesting sentence is "for climbing to the sun" because fire doesn't climb to the sun, that is what the sun is made of. Another interesting sentence was " jungles are the cities" witch he was saying the people were acting like animals

I once was a child by Victoria Chang

"the boss gave us special treatment treatment for something"

"toy box the better we did the better the plastic prize made in China one year everyone got a spinning top"

I recommend you to read this poem , because it conveys a great message . This poem talks about the child labor that is happening in China. You can see how the author states that she got "lollipops" as a gift instead of money for building toyboxes . The author wasn't able to enjoy her childhood due to the work that she had to do. She also states how , they would get a prize for building the things to the best of their ability . These childrens would have to give up their childhood , doing things such as building toyboxes.

I once was a child by Victoria Chang

"...gave us special treatment treatmentfor something" -stanza 1

"... A stroke of bad luck stuck his words" -stanza 3

In " I once was a child" by Victoria Chang, Chang uses loaded terms causing emotion. It's a poem that allows the reader to actually stop and think about the deeper meaning...

December by Michael Miller

"Empty highway" - stanza 3

"I want to be a passenger" - stanza 1&4

In December , Miller displays his longing to apart of an ex lover once again. Its a poem that can touch anyone , no matter who you are. Simply because we all have someone in which we miss and desire to be a "passenger" in their "car" as we were before. Therefore anyone and everyone can relate making it a good read. The writing style is effective in feeling the author's emotion through their words and making the reader feel along with them. Such as when miller compares his lost love to an "empty highway" due to being the only one, one another saw.

1.From the Island 1860

"Her tears froze into spectacles" (stanza 2)

".. Eternally bleeding end-point." (stanza 4)

2. From the Island 1860 by Thomas Tranströmer is an amazing poem that everyone should read at least once. His message is to, in my opinion, to live life to the fullest and be the best person you can because we don't know when out time will be. Thomas uses a lot of imagery words in this writing to show this like for example, "Her tears froze into spectacles" in stanza two. He also uses loaded terms to appeal to the readers sense of pathos like when he uses the phrase, "..Eternally bleeding end-point." The loaded term in this being "Eternally", this word helps create this feeling of sadness in the reader. His writing style overall is effective in getting to the point and making the readers really feel his message with what he is trying to convey.

Truth by: AFAA Micheal Wwaver

1. "goodness in what is not perfect" (Stanza 5)

2. "a new perfection in what is not good" (Stanza 5)

In the poem "Truth" by Afaa Micheal Weaver, Weaver uses Reverse Order to express a theme of acceptance. For example, stanza five "...I found the goodness, in what is not perfect, and a new perfection, in what is not good..." expresses that something does not have to be perfect to be good, or vice versa. This is one of the more beautiful stanzas, as it expresses acceptance of what isn't perfect, and even of what is perfect, but perhaps not good. It really makes you think about perfection in general. How one man's perfection is another's atrocity. It opens one's eyes to the Truth about perfection.

(well APPARENTLY it wont let me put a picture on this thing from my computer, so here's the URL, hope it works. "https://sp.yimg.com/xj/th?id=OIP.Ma923c1bbb612ba75e68a3cd66a3c2935o0&pid=15.1&P=0&w=300&h=300")

Mistletoe

By: Walter De La Mare

Mistletoe by Walter De La Mare, is a very effective piece of poetry. It uses mysterious phrases such as "Stooped in the still and shadowing air"(stanza 2) and "One last candle burning low"(stanza 1). These phrases construct a very mellow and suspenseful feeling. The message of the poem was that if you wait long enough eventually something you want may come, and you Shouldn't give up.

Title: "in the grass"

"For an understanding for his need to kill the most vulnerable thing, whether hungry or not"

In the poem the author portrays a message of sympathy and empathy showing the speaker's compassion for the chicks who were killed by the creature, but also hoped for an understanding of why the creature needed to kill the innocent chicks. His writing style is unclear at first but after some thought, it becomes clearer, not making it the most effective but somewhat clear. Like when he prays for his weakness for being sad over the chicks' death but as well as the reason for their wrongful death

Title: "Ways of Rebelling"

Author: Nathalie Handal

"Whoever heard of turning pain into humming birds..." Stanza 2

"...as you take it apart piece by piece and can't feel anything..." Stanza 1

This poem shows feelings of the author towards what she thinks of war and peace. How she thinks war is good and world peace is unnecessary as she says "who needs to be at peace in the world? It helps to be between wars, to die a few times each day to understand your fathers sky." (Stanza 1). This poem does show how the author wants u to look at this from her perspective and makes u choose Really on what u think how u feel about the conflicts in the world.

1."it must be somewhere, the original harmony"(Stanza 1)

2."How else could it infuse the human soul, that music?" (Stanzas 10-12)

These stanzas shows that music creates a sense of contentment when letting the music feel your soul.

Fire and Ice

By: Robert Frost

1. "Some say the world will end in fire" (Stanza 1 Line 1)

2. " to say that for destruction ice is Also great and would suffice" (Stanza 1 Lines 7,8 and 9)

3. In the Poem Fire and Ice By Robert Frost He tells about how the world will end either in fire or Ice both based upon his experiences for example he says "what I've tasted of desire" to justify his position on fire and he says "I think I know enough of hate" to justify his position on ice even thought favoring fire he still makes an argument for ice. His writing style is very effective by creating an Ethos/Pathos appeal. He takes an extremely controversial topic and makes his own judgemnet and talks about both. The Poem makes you think and if you like poems that talk about important controversies then this is the Poem for you.

Help Wanted by Timothy Tocher

1."Dasher has arthritis; Comet hates the cold" (stanza 1)

2. "There is just one tricky part: You must know how to fly." (stanza 1)

Help Wanted by Timothy Tocher is a lighthearted and funny poem that everyone should enjoy during the holidays. The poet uses mostly simple and complex sentences to create a poem that creates and easy going mood and is easy to read. Two examples in stanza 1 are "Santa needs new reindeer. The first bunch have grown old." and "Dasher has arthritis; Comet hates the cold". Even though the poem has a joking tone the message shows that the holidays are a time for joy and cheer even with the old or the annoying. This poem is not only provides a good laugh but also reminds readers what the holidays are really about.

Signing on a Crew(David L. Harrison)

1. "Snatched a purse or two." Stanza 3

2. "Drunken lout!" Stanza 6

"Signing on a Crew" isn't a powerful or emotional poem if your looking for that, it's a little poem meant to be silly and get either a smile or a snicker from someone l. And you can tell with the way it goes all out with being written the way a pirate would supposedly talk. Not emotional, not necessarily powerful, but it's not meant to be, it's meant to bring up a little and it does just that, if you want a small smile, go ahead and read it

"Discrimation" by Kenneth Rexroth is a poem that is very discriminatory . He refers to black people as "them" or "they" (lines 2 & 20). This poem is very effective because it blandly shows the thoughts of any or many Caucasians in the world.  Although it is not incredibly  harsh or rude, it is still insulting in its own way. The message basically shows that many Caucasians didn't mind black people as long as there were not related in any way, like marriage, family, or friends, but just strangers . "Discrimination" is short and to the point but is also a very stereotypical poem.

1. "Knowledge", "That passion warms little" (stanza 2) "And treasure is brittle" ( stanza 4)

2. This poem seems pretty advanced maybe for an older audience, it talks about how passion doesn't mean that much and treasure is hard to reach & the person is realizing that things maybe knowledge is big but most people don't mind it or realize it. It was hard to understand for me therefore I don't think you should read it unless you're older and understand the message better.

"The city if Paris has you in mind tonight" by Deborah Landau

1) "How the body can betray" (Stanza 2)

2) "A tedency to choke" (Stanza 4)

I picked the poem because the title was interesting, the poem itself is a bit confusing. If you love reading poema about life and death, you should totally read this poem, if you don't like reading about life and death, then this poem wouldn't be fun to read

1. "I probably should've said what I meant"- stanza 7

2."I probably left off the most important thing. But you probably didn't want to hear it"

Review:  In the poem Stuff I probably did and didn't explains the message of confusion and loss in memory. The writing style in this poem was very affective in appealing to emotions/Pathos. The author uses descriptive words like "straining" and "movement" to create a connection of readers to the authors emotions. Direct quotes are used as vital anchor points in the poem to keep things happening and also keep the reader drawing in for more suspense or drama that is happening, leaving you on a cliff hanger. This poem is full of connections, so if you like cliff hangers and suspenseful emotions this poem is for you.

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

1. "Then took the other just as fair...because it was grassy and wanted wear" (stanza 2)

2. "I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all of the difference" (stanza 4)

Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken'' is definitely a poem worth reading, because it effectively and beautifully communicates the message that one must make his own decisions and journey his own path in life no matter the final outcome. Frost eloquently compares life's major decisions to "two roads diverg[ing] in a wood" (stanza 1). This poignant metaphor asserts life as a journey where one is posed with the opportunity to take chances and create the routes that "want wear" or folllow the popular decisions by walking down the already well-worn path (stanza 2). And even though Frost ends his poem with mentioning that his choice of road "has made all of the difference", the reader can be sure to understand that life decisions are not always about the end goal itself, but that sometimes, life decisions are about following one's conscience and taking risks in order to do so no matter the final result. The reader clearly understands that in the end, life is about staying true to the self.
