__**Analysis of My Personal Poems**__ For my "ode" it was really quite difficult to write about something I love. One, because I seem to have the personality to love everything and two, I had no idea how to write it. I set up a structure on how to write it as well as a process. I looked at odes that had already been written by poems to kind of get and idea of the structure. From what I've seem lines shouldn't be to long and it should be short and sweet and to the point. Kind of like "roses are red violates are blue." There also should be some rhyming done of the last word of the line when deemed appropriate by the poet. The process I took wasn't to complicated. I wrote down things that I love the most. Out of that list that I made I chose the items and actions I do the most. The number one item that I seem to use is Siri and can just as easily be an action.

The "sonnet" by far was the most difficult to write out of the four poems I wrote. It had to follow a certain structure that was set up by Shake Spear and is difficult to follow. Each line must have ten syllables at all times and follow a certain rhyme pattern. It's basically the last word of every line has to rhyme with the word every other line. Except for the last two in which case the last words have rhyme with each other. I wrote about the first thing that came to my mind at the time and that happend to be fruit salad. The poem also has to do with the fact that I do enjoy fruit salad but it can indeed be a deceiving food.

My "raised by" poem is based off the same poem that was read in class. Except I switched around the wording to include my own style of writing which seems to be pretty modern and adjusted to my style of writing. The structure of this poem is particularly based around rhyming but more about the flow of the words. The words that i chose o use were mostly words that I thought would be descriptive. The point of that poem is to describe someone who you find inspirational in your life, good or bad. The way to write this poem is through instinct and whatever words sound good together the first time coming out of your mouth are probably a good combination and should be put in the poem.

My "original poem" I thought should be the most modern form of poetry out of the four and tried not to use any older techniques in it in order to represent modern poetry. Modern poetry dosen't really have a lot of rhyming but has plenty of energy, description, detail, and word flow, much like slam poetry. But I also like to add my own style into it which includes a lot of repeats in words at the beginning which I know can make a poem good. I picked something that I really enjoy doing and I tried to describe as much as I could in as little lines a posible. Part of a good poem in my opinion is short sweet and to the point. I chose as many words that were descriptive and techniques such as metaphors to emphasize the scene and actions. I also like the technique of picking one of the five seances and sticking with it as a descriptive key to the poem.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The sticks of the house were his; his books he owned. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Even as a baby he had never cried; <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Nor did he now, save to his secret wound.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Out of his eyes I saw the last light glide. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Here among the liught of the lording sky <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">An old man is with me where I go

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Last sound, the world going out without a breath: <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Too proud to cry, too frail to check the tears, <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">And caught between two nights, blindness and death.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">O deepest wound of all that he should die <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">On that darkest day. oh, he could hide <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The tears out of his eyes, too proud to cry.

This whole poem describes your typical "women breaks your heart" story. It displays a certain character and it seems obvious to me that the author was very mad and that this situation had happened to him before. I think it was way to detailed not to have happened to him. It dosen't really have a word pattern but the line set up is set in a particular way. 1 short line, 2 long lines, 1 short line, 1 long line, 1 short line, 1 long line, and another short line. It looked good physically in paragraph form and it made the words flow even though there was no specific word pattern, but there was rhythm. It did display the image of a beautiful yet seductive women and tricked a man to fall in love with her and than broke her heart. What did upset me was the poem didn't explain why the women borke the mans heart in the first place

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The poem displayed a lot of confusing aspects but clear than became clear after understanding a single word. As I was reading this whole poem it was odd to me what I was reading a difficult to understand. But the great thing about being confused when reading a poem is that you get the urge to read it till the end. There's that little thought in your head "what if it's all explained to me in the end." For this particular poem it can all be explained in just a single word, the title elegy. When I read that word I had no idea what that meant or even heard of that word. An elegy is a poem dedicated or about the dead which is a little freaky it's like something out of goosebumps. But in fact after a second re-read of it I began to understand the context a little, it talked about God and religion a lot and life after death. But what was odd is that there didn't seem to be any particular pattern in the words or how the lines were set up. The poem structure it's self seemed to be in between modern slam poetry and tradition Shakespeare era poetry. It would make sense since it was written in the 1920's. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This poem displays the image of death and describes it in a cruel manner through descriptive imagery. This poem also seemed to happen to the author in his life time. He says a lot of word in a "me" context which hints to the fact that might've it happened to someone very close and dear to him. It's also very depressing through the descriptions and has lots of sorrow built into it. It also did mention a lot about god and saints in it which led to the conclusion that this was a religious man when you look at the other two poems. There was no word pattern that I could spot in particular but there was line structure in it which made the poem look good physically. It had a couple long lines and than smaller ones in between each longer verse. The words all came together to forma rhythm and it was beautifully put together. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
