Poem Comparison by Owen Hughey https://padlet.com/3086/l6n5gjqonbvm Made with the help of a typing monkey (Evan) en-us 2017-02-23 14:23:50 UTC 2017-02-24 14:07:28 UTC hello@padlet.com Theme 3064 https://padlet.com/3086/l6n5gjqonbvm/wish/155753452 The theme is shown in stanza 5 of "Man Alone" and stanza 1 of "To His  Love," elaborating on the fact that someone close was lost.]]> 2017-02-23 14:27:28 UTC https://padlet.com/3086/l6n5gjqonbvm/wish/155753452 Enjambment! 3064 https://padlet.com/3086/l6n5gjqonbvm/wish/155757006 Both poems contain enjambment; they allow the poems to feel rushed and panicked because both speakers have lost someone that they care about. This almost makes it feel as if the speakers are ranting about their loss.]]> 2017-02-23 14:36:14 UTC https://padlet.com/3086/l6n5gjqonbvm/wish/155757006 Man Alone 3086 https://padlet.com/3086/l6n5gjqonbvm/wish/155759281 Man Alone - Owen Hughey
by Louise Bogan
It is yourself you seek
In a long rage,
Scanning through light and darkness
Mirrors, the page,

Where should reflected be
Those eyes and that thick hair,
That passionate look, that laughter.
You should appear

Within the book, or doubled,
Freed, in the silvered glass;
Into all other bodies
Yourself should pass.

The glass does not dissolve;
Like walls the mirrors stand;
The printed page gives back
Words by another hand.

And your infatuate eye
Meets not itself below;
Strangers lie in your arms
As I lie now.

   Are useless indeed.
We'll walk no more on Cotswold
   Where the sheep feed
   Quietly and take no heed.
 
His body that was so quick
   Is not as you
Knew it, on Severn river
   Under the blue
   Driving our small boat through.
 
You would not know him now ...
   But still he died
Nobly, so cover him over
   With violets of pride
   Purple from Severn side.
 
Cover him, cover him soon!
   And with thick-set
Masses of memoried flowers—
   Hide that red wet
   Thing I must somehow forget.

Both poems have emotion in them because they focus on the loss of a person. ]]> 2017-02-23 14:43:46 UTC https://padlet.com/3086/l6n5gjqonbvm/wish/155760459 Rhyme Scheme 3086 https://padlet.com/3086/l6n5gjqonbvm/wish/156013259 The poems share a similar rhyme scheme.  The first line of each stanza does not rhyme, and neither does the third.  Only the second, third, and fifth lines of each stanza rhyme.  This contributes to the hasty feeling of the poems.]]> 2017-02-24 13:47:45 UTC https://padlet.com/3086/l6n5gjqonbvm/wish/156013259 Symbolism 3064 https://padlet.com/3086/l6n5gjqonbvm/wish/156016205 Symbolism is shown in both poems with the fact that both of the men end up unrecognizable towards the end. They changed in a way that no one wanted to see. In the last stanza of both poems, the speakers do not recognize their former comrades. Symbolism is shown in "To His Love" with the use of the flowers to help hide the "red wet thing." Symbolism is shown in "Man Alone" with the use of the mirror to show the reflection of the man's changing friend.]]> 2017-02-24 13:58:00 UTC https://padlet.com/3086/l6n5gjqonbvm/wish/156016205
