Gaby's Poetry Blog: Elegy: O Captain! My Captain! By Walt Whitman
http://fiorenzaapenglish.blogspot.com/2009/03/elegy-o-captain-my-captain-by-walt.html
Sunday, March 8, 2009. Our fearful trip is done, The ship has weather'd every rack,. The prize we sought is won, The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,. While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring; But O heart! O the bleeding drops of red, Where on the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead. Rise up and hear the bells; Rise up- for you the flag is flung- for. You the bugle trills,. For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths- for you the shores. Fallen cold and dead.

Sunday, March 29, 2009. On What Teachers Make" by Taylor Mali. It can be found here. DEFINITELY LISTEN TO IT =). To begin, I think it's very important that slam poetry be listened to, as it IS called spoken word. To read a splam poem is nothing compared to hearing the author recite it because much of the importance is in the tone and delivery. The art of spoken word is so greatly dependent on the presentation. In this slam poem, Mali uses the literary device of apostrophe. Kasey's AP English Blog! Ambigu...

Thursday, March 12, 2009. Sonnet 1 by Edmund Spencer. Happy ye leaves whenas those lily hands,. Which hold my life in their dead doing might. Shall handle you and hold in love’s soft bands,. Lyke captives trembling at the victor’s sight. And happy line, on which with starry light,. Those lamping eyes will design sometimes to look. And read the sorrows of my dying spright,. Written with tears in harts close bleeding book. And happy rhymes bathed in the sacred brook,. Of Helicon whence she derived is,.

Thursday, April 16, 2009. Most Japanese poems are beautiful and follow all of the restrictions of syllabls, yet when translated into English, the poem loses its flow. America has adapted Haiku's as a mainstream form of poetry.

Thursday, April 16, 2009. Is one of the main things that separates prose and poetry. Poetry can take on many formats, but one of them most inventive forms is for the poem to take on the shape of its subject. So if the subject of your poem is an apple, then the poem's lines would be written so that the poem appears to take on the shape of an apple.

Lisa's AP English Blog. Tuesday, January 20, 2009. Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night by Dylan Thomas. Do not go gentle into that good night,. Old age should burn and rave at close of day;. Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right,. Because their words had forked no lightning they. Do not go gentle into that good night.

Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard by Thomas Gray. 1The curfew tolls the knell of parting day,. 2 The lowing herd wind slowly o'er the lea,. 3The plowman homeward plods his weary way,. 4 And leaves the world to darkness and to me. 5Now fades the glimm'ring landscape on the sight,. 6 And all the air a solemn stillness holds,. 7Save where the beetle wheels his droning flight,. 8 And drowsy tinklings lull the distant folds;. 30 Their homely joys, and d...
