Symbolism? I think yes!

By just reading the title of the poem "The Coming of Wisdom with Time" the first thing that comes to mind is graduation. I have known since 1st grade someday I will graduate as a senior, but now its only months away and it makes me think . I have made many choices in my life which have branched off into different directions influencing my life, but everything still comes back to me, the roots of my tree of life. This poem was symboloic and special to me because it is symbolic of my life in the past and future. After May I will be thrust into the real world where nothing is sugar coated and no one is there to hold my hand like they have for the last 17 years of my life, and this poem truely marks the steps we progress through our lives . This poem hit home for me .

Spell check needed

i'm reading the poem "I thank you god" by ee Cummings and i feel like im just learning how to read again. i have to read each sentence out loud and pronounce each word, this poem is full of confusing  things. i am sure you have noticed the lower case "i", well i noticed it too in this poem and how the only things capitalized were the words pertaining to God. Also the odd words like "leaping greenly" and "blue true dream" made me repeat those sentences a lot, did anyone notice how in the poem everything that is linked to God is capitalized yet Cummings didn't capitalize it in the title? As i read this poem i keep trying to figure out what the yes and no answer in the stanzas, the whole poem was oddly written it seemed choppy and messy with big words placed here and there. It is defiantly a poem worth reading about 70 times to full get what it is even saying.

The chop shop of poetry

Like a good car, good poetry has many parts and each part has a specific task it preforms in the whole poem. In the beginning of the poem "Wallflowers" the opening stanza starts out as a thought, an almost unheard of thought, a word an author of all people doesn't know it cant be true. The second part is the question, the rhetorical one meant for us to stop and think for a moment before going and reading the rest of the poem (and I'm sure 90% of us said a word 3 times to make it our own ^_^ )  The third stanza is full of dark gloomy underfed orphaned words that make us feel bad, we have cast aside our need for the words who only want a better life. This is the stanza where things begin to change, we start to see a tone change in the writing.  The fourth part is the beginning of a hopeful tone change from the gloom of stanzas past. We see the author standing up and creating a place full of great word space away from the dismal island of misfit words. The different parts of this poem show the changes in tone and showing a complete problem solution scenario completed in the poem.
