I enjoy the use of Robert Frost's poems throughout your annotations because of how nature is in the base of all of his poems. With nature being the base of his poems, I am more interested, and also I can imagine what his is talking about through his simple, but great descriptions. The use of nature helps him to show the emotions he is feeling, and I really enjoy how you can see the range of emotions through his change in tone throughout his poems.

I loved your inclusion of Maya Angelou. I personally love her work. I love her use of repetition and imagery, and I love how she writes with an empowered tone. Through her similes, metaphors, and repetition, she invokes moods of hope and self-empowerment. She has become one of my favorite poets.

I love the line "laugh like I've got gold mines" in Maya Angelou's Still I Rise because this simile creates really good imagery, and I am able to imagine exactly what the laugh sounds like. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.

The IdeaWhile we can't share in the traditional sense, we certainly can spend time appreciating the art of poetry through the projects our peers have created. Please give each project the thoughtful viewing it deserves, then comment on three of your favorites utilizing poetic devices to explain what you like about their project. Comments might look something like, "Wow! I love your use of imagery and simile. They really help me experience the solemn attitude you are creating in your poem," or "Hey! Billy Collins has become one of my favorite poets too; I love his sarcastic attitude and use of imagery as you have revealed here," or "I'm impressed with how creatively you were able to showcase the melancholy tone of "Because I Could Not Stop for Death" as revealed by Emily Dickinson." Please explore projects like and unlike yours and practice describing what it that you like about what you see. The project that earns 100% and has the most comments will earn a prize! Categories
