You fit into me

Margaret atwood-shes an canadian poet and shes also published 15 books.

This poem is freakishly short! I feel like shorter poems are more of a challenge to analyze because there isn't as much information to pull from. This poem is two stanzas and each only has two lines, there is no rhyme scheme. This poem can be analyzed in different ways, for one i viewed it as a person was in love but the love was rough. almost like "i hate that i love you" sort of feeling. The image of a fish hook into an open eye is not pleasant nor painless. So maybe Margaret meant the love was painful, the way the guy fit perfectly for her was painful? This poem is super short and hard to figure out any deeper meaning. I did notice there are no capitalized letters or punctuation marks. I think Atwood did this to add a definent strong feeling on her emotions toward the topic.

The Guitarist Tunes up

Frances Cornford- is a girl, which i didn't expect! She's also the granddaughter of Charles Darwin which is a huge history figure. She was raised around a huge family and was taught privately.

My first reaction to this poem is that a couple is sitting together and she's admiring the way he can play quitar. This poem is different from a lot of other poems because it is from a womans point of view, so it's easier to understand what she is talking about when she says, "attentive courtesy he bent over his instrument"

This poem is only one stanza and has 8 lines. This poem also has a aabbcc rhyme scheme, every two lines rhyme with each other.

Sort of a Song

William Carlos Williams-modernism and imagism...He also graduated from the University of Pennsylvania!

This poem is only two stanzas long and each stanza is a sestet. I think the idea of the poem was at first he has this real imaginative metaphor between a writer and a snake, but then by the esecond stanza he realizes his thoughts can be easily related to anything. Humans, snakes, and stones can all be put together to create the same outcome. "(No ideas but in things)-With no common it gives it sort of an expressive thought that he just randomly stated. Even though it may not fit in with the rest of the poem, i think this section can relate to a lot of other poets because many of them cannot write down their basic thoughts, but they write them through other sources or "things". The poem is short and quit, i don't think it was written to be thought over too hard, but maybe just as a "thought of the day". The title to me doesn't fit the poem at all. Maybe Williams is trying to say that all things in life, living or not, can create a song. A song usually starts out as a poem, so maybe thats what William was referring too!

Goodbye Highschool

All the early mornings,
and sleepless nights.
With midnight phone calls
and friendship fights.

Success was my goal,
all throughout school.
Always played by the book,
and never broke any rules.

Opinions can drive you crazy,
judgments can make mad.
Learning to keep my cool,
The credit goes to mom and dad.

Learning how to drive,
also discovering love,
gave me the influence
to always live above.

I've tried new things,
and changed as you see.
I became the woman
he said i couldn't be.

The great teachers and lessons
that got me through the day.
Taught m about the life and future
that I've come to live today.
