But it is always someone feeling something at white heat, and it is as vital as the description of a battle would be, told by a soldier who had been in it.” 

Amy Lowell is describing such a feeling that she has while writing and reading poetry. She states that it is a height of emotion and excitement. Her comparison to a soldier telling a battle story is effective because the readers picture someone so dedicated and so driven. As a soldier who experienced a battle I picture someone who is so deep and passionate in their thought and explanation.]]> 2017-05-04 14:25:24 UTC https://padlet.com/sweenes2/436tl614p203/wish/169946359 My Papa's Waltz sweenes2 https://padlet.com/sweenes2/436tl614p203/wish/169950005 This poem is about a father and son relationship. The height of emotion in this poem is the young boys feelings, he wants to spend more time with his father. His father is drunk and in the beginning of the poem the author points that out for the readers. The father is not a traditional father who plays catch and video games with his son,  he drinks and the son takes advantage of the time he does have with his father. At the end of the poem when the author states "Then waltzed me off to bed 
Still clinging to your shirt"
The readers get a sense of sadness because it is obvious the boy does not have the greatest relationship with his father. ]]> 2017-05-04 14:34:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sweenes2/436tl614p203/wish/169950005 Funeral Blues sweenes2 https://padlet.com/sweenes2/436tl614p203/wish/169950108 Funeral Blues is about a lover who lost their significant other. This poem is definitely very emotional. The person in the poem explains their heartache of losing their loved one. There is a height of emotion in this poem and this quote supports that "The stars are not wanted now; put out every one, Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood;
For nothing now can ever come to any good"]]> 2017-05-04 14:35:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sweenes2/436tl614p203/wish/169950108 The Whipping sweenes2 https://padlet.com/sweenes2/436tl614p203/wish/169950185 The Whipping is told from an outside view, however the height in emotion is clear. The readers know the young boy in this poem senses a height in negative emotion because he gets physically punished. "She strikes and strikes the shrilly circling boy till the stick breaks
in her hand.  His tears are rainy weather to woundlike memories". This quote shows the boys emotions and obviously him and this woman do not have a good relationship since the poem states that he sobs in his room.]]> 2017-05-04 14:35:23 UTC https://padlet.com/sweenes2/436tl614p203/wish/169950185 Silken Tent sweenes2 https://padlet.com/sweenes2/436tl614p203/wish/169950220 The Silken Tent displays height in emotion between two lovers. The man shows his love for her by speaking of her beauty and  dedication. When he says "But strictly held by none, is loosely bound
By countless silken ties of love and thought". He compares her to a silken tent and her love and thought is represented by the silken ties. This poem relates with Amy Lowell's quote because it displays their emotions when speaking of her and comparing her personality and characteristics to a silken tent. ]]> 2017-05-04 14:35:26 UTC https://padlet.com/sweenes2/436tl614p203/wish/169950220 White Lies sweenes2 https://padlet.com/sweenes2/436tl614p203/wish/169950367 The young girl in this poem feels a height of emotion when she tells her "white lies". Others in her class thinks she is white and she does not deny it, she goes along with it. She obviously had a reason for going along with it. In the poem it says "But I paid for it every time Mama found out" which shows a different emotion the girl in the play experiences. I'm sure she sensed a height of negative emotion when dealing with the consequences of her mother.]]> 2017-05-04 14:35:48 UTC https://padlet.com/sweenes2/436tl614p203/wish/169950367 Labrina's Blues sweenes2 https://padlet.com/sweenes2/436tl614p203/wish/169950426 Labrina's blues is about a murder so negative emotions are shown. The play begins speaking about what's done is done, using a common saying "don't cry over spilled milk". A really distinct image created for the readers is "for when that milk is mixed with blood and the tragic story's told...". The author of this poem created the image of spilled milk then related back to it many times in the poem. Someone was killed and a young girl will be incarcerated which is the reason for all the emotions in this poem. ]]> 2017-05-04 14:35:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sweenes2/436tl614p203/wish/169950426 Cheerleading Competition sweenes2 https://padlet.com/sweenes2/436tl614p203/wish/170397152 I was a cheerleader for many years and the height of emotion is over the top. The adrenaline, thrill and excitement a cheerleader feels while competing is unexplainable. This video shows the height of emotion while the cheerleaders compete and also when they find out the results at the end. This video is an excellent example of Amy Lowell's quote dealing with height of emotions.]]> 2017-05-07 23:34:48 UTC https://padlet.com/sweenes2/436tl614p203/wish/170397152 One Art sweenes2 https://padlet.com/sweenes2/436tl614p203/wish/170401666 This poem speaks of losing things in life. The author states that losing things and people in life does not mean it will be a disaster. This is really reassuring and positive. The height of emotion in this poem is the authors strong message of being able to accept losses throughout life. This quote states "I lost my mother’s watch. And look! my last, or next-to-last, of three loved houses went. 
The art of losing isn’t hard to master". The author constantly states that the art of losing isn't hard to master which is true.

one that encompasses me completely
releasing all emotion
soul exposed bare and naked
to be examined and still accepted
what a revelation
that anyone would have that capability
attuned to every part of me
I respect you
seeing all my scars yet not even blinking
no cringing, no judging
only pure acceptance and love
a craving to heal, cure and dress my wounds
what a beautiful soul you must have, love
my counterpart, my companion]]> 2017-05-08 01:36:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sweenes2/436tl614p203/wish/170406373 Beautiful Soul sweenes2 https://padlet.com/sweenes2/436tl614p203/wish/170406419 The beginning of this poem speaks of genuine love.

Whether the emotion
Is laughter or tears
Love or terror:
It will always
Bubble forth
Gushing out
From these hearts
Fragile and true
All because
We are human.]]> 2017-05-08 02:50:00 UTC https://padlet.com/sweenes2/436tl614p203/wish/170414841 All In One sweenes2 https://padlet.com/sweenes2/436tl614p203/wish/170414907 This poem is simply stating the heights of emotions people face throughout life. The author speaks of good emotions such as laughter or love and bad emotions such as tears or terror. Emotions come from the heart and everyone has emotions because everyone is human. This relates to Amy Lowell's quote because it covers persistence of different emotions.]]> 2017-05-08 02:50:36 UTC https://padlet.com/sweenes2/436tl614p203/wish/170414907 Tonight I Write The Saddest Lines sweenes2 https://padlet.com/sweenes2/436tl614p203/wish/170417136 This poem is very emotional. In the beginning of the poem he states how they loved one another and they had a romantic relationship. They had height of emotion in their relationship by loving and cherishing one another. The next part of the poem he speaks of feeling that he lost her. He says that his love could not keep her which shows negative emotions since he lost his companion. "Another's. She will be another's. As she was before my kisses.
Her voice, her bright body. Her infinite eyes" this quote shows his sadness and heartache. ]]> 2017-05-08 03:14:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sweenes2/436tl614p203/wish/170417136
