Dedication; To my lovely family for supporting me through all fourteen of my years. what a journey. For a mostly smooth ride I thank you.
Advice from the Experts Bill Knott I lay down in the empty street and parked My feet against the gutter's curb while from The building above a bunch of gawkers perched Along its ledges urged me don't, don't jump.
Analysis 1: This poem includes mul/ple perspec/ves that help to intrigue the reader. You have to read it at least twice to even begin to understand it. With no rhyme scheme there s/ll is a li;le rhythm. That helps to keep the reader reading, the poem. The rhythm helps the reader to keep cycling through the poem to eventually understand it. In this poem Bill Kno; really uses line length to keep the reader interested and yet again, moving throughout the poem. Line Length also add’s a li;le “umff” to it, a li;le bold statement. With this short choppy poem it takes a li;le while to interpret it. To interpret the theme you need to keep going back through. What I got from this poem, is that it was a ba;le with one’s own consciences or “a ba%le within.” I think there may be some symbolism to this poetry where the gawkers up above may be angels or even his own conscience. I think this is a classic example of man verses himself, where the ba;le is within rather than against an external source.
A Dream
A Dream In visions of the dark night I have dreamed of joy departedBut a waking dream of life and light Hath left me broken-hearted. Ah! what is not a dream by day To him whose eyes are cast On things around him with a ray Turned back upon the past? That holy dream- that holy dream, While all the world were chiding, Hath cheered me as a lovely beam A lonely spirit guiding. What though that light, thro' storm and night, So trembled from afarWhat could there be more purely bright In Truth's day-star? Edgar Allan Poe
Analysis 2: Edgar Allan Poe is famous for his poetry, even though most of it is very dark. It has a certain air of self taught experience, and a certain lesson that he had to learn the hard way. His rhyme and rhythm just con/nue to draw the reader in and add flow to his work. The rhyme and rhythm work to set a tone. I deduced a tone of remorse over a loss, perhaps because of a dream that may have been taken from him. Line length also contributes to his work. It shows deep thought and it kind of adds that bouncing rhythm that you hear when you read it. One line in par/cular helps to get his very complicated theme across “What though that light, thro' storm and night,” (Verse 4 Line 1-‐ Edgar Allen Poe) which shows the theme of dreams are a strange and taunCng blessing. He doesn’t seem to have include any metaphors or similes, possibly because he doesn’t need to. With his descrip/ve language, there is no misunderstanding, in the tone or theme he is trying to set.
Still I Rise You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may tread me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I'll rise. Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? 'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I'll rise. Did you want to see me broken? Bowed head and lowered eyes? Shoulders falling down like teardrops. Weakened by my soulful cries. Does my haughtiness offend you? Don't you take it awful hard 'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines Diggin' in my own back yard. You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I'll rise. Does my sexiness upset you? Does it come as a surprise That I dance like I've got diamonds At the meeting of my thighs?
Maya Angelou’s poems seem to have so much vim and vigor. Maya Angelou is a very strong woman and she really likes to use parallelism to get her point across. For example in this poem, “I rise” is repeated about 11 /mes. It’s really catchy and allows the reader to understand her tone. It focus the reader to take the /me to recognize the emphasis on her inten/onal choices. One thing she used to her advantage, like many poets, is rhyme and rhythm. She uses a slightly more complex “abcb etc.” rhyme scheme that she chose to con/nue throughout the poem. This helps to add flow and add a nice beat to keep you reading at an acceptable pace while understanding her work. The tone of determina/on is so obvious when she says certain sentences like, “But sCll, like air, I'll rise” (Verse 6 line 4-‐ Maya Angelo). The tone is also formed throughout all the literary elements she included. Line length looks almost uninten/onal but the way I think she wrote her poem was so that the line length would just allow for that rhythm to unfold. Near the end to shock and draw the reader in, she shortened the lines and threw in the parallelism, for a last hurrah!
Out of the huts of history's shame I rise Up from a past that's rooted in pain I rise I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide, Welling and swelling I bear in the tide. Leaving behind nights of terror and fear I rise Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear I rise Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. I rise I rise I rise. Maya Angelou
This is a symbol meaning Strength in Chinese that Maya Angelo uses with her work
If If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too: If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can dream---and not make dreams your master; If you can think---and not make thoughts your aim, If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same:. If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools; If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings, And never breathe a word about your loss: If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!" If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much: If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son! Rudyard Kipling
This is a very long and detailed poem, with lots of very interes/ng ideas. The technique that is most inten/onal, or at least looks most inten/onal, would have to be line length. As you can see the lines are almost all the same length and again, that looks as if it helps to contribute to the rhythm and increase the flow. I think there might be a very prominent deliberate tone coming out that helps to carry the point of what it take’s to truly be the best you can or, what it take to become a man. The theme is of mental toughness. Repe//on of the word “if” is so inten/onal it would be hard to miss it. AXer all, it’s the name of the poem! The word “if” is very good to help show the reader all the different circumstances in which you must succeed. Rudyard Kipling used repe//on to catch the reader’s eye.“If” is always followed a challenging human situa/on, and it builds up in the poem to the very last verse where we find out what all these “if’s” mean. With the use of parallelism it keeps the reader interested and cap/vated throughout this long poem. Another thing I no/ced was that each line had about 10 syllables, but I know it’s not a sonnet because it’s too long. Maybe Rudyard Kipling decided to set certain guidelines to his work, to add structure. One thing that was pre;y cool and unique was the rhyme scheme. “A,a,a,b,c,b,c e,f,e,f etc.” and throughout the rest of the poem the rhyme scheme follows the typical, “a,b,a,b” but that first part really packs a punch, drawing the reader right in.
Do not stand at my grave and weep Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die. Mary Elizabeth Frye
Analysis 5: I really thought this was one of the smartest pieces of poetry I have read so far. It really contains some beau/ful metaphors. My favorite being “I am the soL stars that shine at night.” (Verse 1 Line 10 -‐ Mary Elizabeth Frye) all these boun/ful metaphors set a tone of selflessness. They create a clear picture in the reader’s mind and help communicate a theme of just carry on when I am gone. Again, parallelism comes into play. “I am” is repeated nine /mes. With all the metaphors applying a simple yet effec/ve “aa,bb,cc etc.” rhyme scheme must have been a challenge, but it really contributed to the overall readability. It is an upbeat playful rhythm. As if implying that to be dead is to be free. It also helps to add to the tone. One other thing Mary Elizabeth Frye included is that each line is exactly eight syllables each, the reason the rhyme and rhythm is so solid.
Chromosome eighteen Analysis: When you’re doing a haiku you can’t really include many literary elements. Line length was intentional because of the space that I had to work with. This Haiku probably took me the longest, to get across such a huge part of my life in 17 syllables. I was trying to set a tone of relief with a touch of gratefulness on my part. I wrote this poem for the story behind it. I also wanted to portray the love and affection I have drawn from it. When I was in the womb, my parents had to decide wither to abort me or not. They were sitting outside a hospital waiting room when they were asked to make a decision. My dad with his light hearted humor said, “let’s go for lunch.” My head was so big the doctors thought I had a bubble on the brain meaning I had chromosome eighteen. I would have only lived for a year. They have tests the do on fetus that would tell them if I had chromosome eighteen or not. If I did, they would encourage my mom to abort. The test has a one in two hundred chance of aborting the baby. My parents had faith in me, and decided they would enjoy every last minute with me instead. They choose not to have the test. When I was born a gift of relief was given to my parents. I feel that same faith they had for me, every day of my life. The theme I hope people draw from this is that faith can overcome all doubt and fear.
Chromosome eighteen : Spring time bestowed upon me A gift of relief

You realize how seem to feel perfectly comfortable using much it matters what you say and do. Bewould have to be repe//on and parallelism. cause In this poem I used repe//on to make sure you do what it takes when the reader could understand what I felt was the going gets tough, You just got important to the poem and what they needed to keep going even if it get’s rough. When to look at just a li;le bit more carefully. I used you can’t take any more, you just put why about five /mes in three lines. That also one foot in front of the other. Keep your head up and take a step further. When you helped to set the tone, which in turn would are stripped of your pride and you no longer show the true theme of this poem. take it you just have to ask why. Why, why, Throughout this poem I try to exhibit a certain why do you do what you do? For the fame? For the kids? tone, of helplessness, a lack of control, but as Why? Why? Do long as you know why your doing it, you will you do it for a survive. Leading onto a certain theme of self kick, Just ask doubt can lead to mental toughness if you are yourself what’s determined. This was also communicated it worth. What are you willing to through a rhyme scheme that would pop up do? What are you every now and then, A,BB,CC etc. I just used willing to pay?

The Joys Of Life Parents, one of the best gifts from the lord Given a gift of privilege and guidance Love is the only thing we can not hoard We will never be shown this much kindness Stronger then anything that could harm you Persistent as Elmer Fudd chasing Buggs Teaching us just how to push through Getting our daily warmth from their hugs A gift so we no longer feel alone Happily giving us the tools and skills The will to tickle our funny bone Lucky enough to be allowed the thrills Parents are everything we will ever need We finally grasp nothings guaranteed - Adrian.H
Analysis: This is one of the harder poems I have had to write. It’s hard to do, let the creative juices Nlow, with limitations. Still somehow it turned out well. The thing about sonnets is they usually help the writer to either really think about what they are writing, or just let it come out. I noticed in my poetry that I wasn’t using many similes so that’s something I tried to apply in this poem, “Persistent as Elmer Fudd chasing bugs” (Verse 2, Line 2 -‐Adrian H). This helped the reader to gain some measure on how I feel about what I am talking about. Rhyme and rhythm is something I have discovered, I’m not great with. Applying a not very complicated abab rhyme scheme, it helps to move the reader along my poem. It also helped maintain a beat that I have made using 10 syllables. It also helps to display my theme of parents are one of the best gifts we have been given. Another element I tried to include was allusion, referencing the Bugs Bunny show. I’m not entirely sure I did that right, but I was thinking, and that’s what came to me. It was just a little wink at the reader about something to remind them of there past. Line length, like in all poetry was very intentional. With sonnets, it has to be. This really added to my poetry by making it visually appealing and more attractive to the eye. We all love neat things, so this was another way of attracting the reader to my poem.
Freedom Can’t be bought
Can be given
Can’t be stolen
Can be shared Can’t be wished for
Can be found
Free Free. an idea What is it to be truly free Alone? Together? Free To have no worries at all? Or not let them consume you? To have not a care in the world? Or to choose care about only the important things? To choose to make no choices? Or be happy with the choices we make? To not be tied down? Or to believe you can’t be tied down? To be free Or not. Whatever you choose, life is a story With half the pages blank. What you choose to do with them Will make you, you
Analysis: You know whenever you get writer’s block and then you just get a revelation. This is how this work came to life. I was having a dream and I woke up. Not sure what I was writing just that I need to get it out. It must have been 2 am before I was done, and I hit the pillow. The next day I came back to this and polished it up. Parallelism was very prominent in this. I used it to create a little bit of a beat, keep the reader moving. It also shows the duplicity and complicated nature of deep thinking. It also helped to get across a tone of, freedom is what you think it is. I believe this is one of my stronger pieces. With parallelism I used it as my sort of rhyme scheme, if that was how it was supposed to work it would be something like a “abab” etc. I found it a nice change of pace and hopefully the reader will think the same thing. Touching on line length, I thought it would be best to keep a nice short beat. A short effective poem is better than a long essay. I Ninally got a metaphor into my work, “Whatever you choose, life is a story With half the pages blank. What you choose to do with them Will make you, you” (Stanza 4 -‐Adrian H). I thought this metaphor was a nice way to end my poem. It is a very soft descriptive verse hopefully leaving the reader in contemplation.
Hope Leaping up, touching the sky Hitting the Nloor, wondering why Reaching for something that’s not there Realizing you got nothing but air That is the question we all strive to answer Why did it happen? Why Me? Those who care Always ask why. You can’t help but feel Hopelessness When you can’t control what’s around you We forget what hope truly is Hope is something that grows, That needs to be watered with The sweat of determination Hope is the strongest emotion Those who possess it, are solid Those who act on it, are determined Those who Night for it, are unstoppable Those who spread it, are holy We always have hope Whether you believe you do Or not. That is the difference between The Strong, and the weak
Analysis: This is the Ninal product of a lot of drafts. It took me a while to decided what I wanted to do. I eventually came up with this. In this poem, I use an element that I haven’t in my others, hyperbole. I use this to help draw the reader in and give them a little “pow”, “Leaping up, touching the sky” (Verse 1, Line 1 -‐ Adrian H) Another element that helps my work come together is rhyme and rhythm. Only in the Nirst verse do I really use rhyme. Using a “aabb” rhyme scheme helps to draw the reader in and have them start to deduce my theme and tone. The theme I was going for was “Hope is always with us.” Near the end of the poem, like in most of my work, I use parallelism to really get my tone and theme across. It also helps to create a little change of pace and a nice little beat. The tone is probably one of determination and optimism. This in turn helps to get across my theme of hope is a choice. Line length doesn't really come into play in this poem. It is just short enough to allow for a beat, and some variation to help intrigue the reader.
My Name By Adrian Handy On May 11, 1999 at 9:00 o’clock in the morning on Mother’s Day, I was born. From that second on I was destined that I would be surrounded with love and affection. Those feelings of adoration influenced who I became. Even though my mom continues to have to share that day with me, she reassures me that I was the best Mother’s Day gift she ever got. I still feel bad that my mother misses one of the few holidays that is just for her. However I will never forget to get her a gift. The first way I was shown this love as large as the moon the sun and all that surrounds it, was in my name, Adrian Ora H####. It has always been something I have been proud of. When I hear the fascinating story behind it, it shows slow, methodical, caring thought. My name has two origins. The story I like is one of a great roman emperor, Hadrian Buccellanus. The second origin is, a show that my mom fanatically followed called The Highlanders. Hadrian was considered one of the five great emperors of the Roman Empire. He was a solid, strong, loyal emperor who governed an enormous territory. He came to be emperor when Rome was quite big and spread out, and very susceptible to attack. He being the smart level headed man, he was concerned about keeping the people safe. when the roman empire reached scotland they were too spread out and the Romans were getting slaughtered. Hadrian made the decision to build a 600 mile stone wall to protect the Roman citizens from the Scottish. This wall would become to be known as Hadrian’s Wall. He was concerned for his people around him and in times of chaos he remained solid like a wall. These are traits that my father wanted to contribute to my identity. My mother originally didn’t want Adrian Ora H####. She wanted Paul Adrian H####. She wanted this name because it was one of her favourite characters on a show called The Highlanders. He was the wisest of them all and also the strongest. She hoped that I would also be wise and strong. Eventually she realized it was silly to name me just after an actor. After my dad talked to my mom about my name she fell in love with the name Adrian Ora H####. A sense of humor is a survival technique in my family. Ora came from my great grandfather, one of my dad’s favorite role models. His “Shtick” that he told my dad was about how he should never name a kid Ora. “It’s the worst, ” he cried, “the kid will get teased.” With my dad’s sense of humor of course that’s my middle name. I personally like it. It means gold in Swedish. It’s really just a variation of the word Aura. He wanted to honor his grandfather because he was one of the people in his life he really looked up to. I also think I inherited my dad’s sense of humor along with the name. When I was in Elementary school, I was the biggest there by a long shot. The hierarchy of grade school is that the biggest rules the playground. I never wanted to, or asked to be in that position. But like a wall I stood guard. When you are in that position, you learn to look out for everyone around you. At one point, I got tired of it. I went to my mom and explained the situation. She told me that it wasn’t my job to fix everyone’s problems. Somehow, I didn’t believe her. I knew I could make a difference. Maybe, because I had these traits of loyalty and protectiveness I couldn’t believe otherwise. Maybe, subconsciously, all the stories I have been told about my name became
Exploration of My Anthology I had no idea what I was doing. I was just choosing poems that spoke to me and writing poems to help me vent and let go of a lot of mixed emotions. During editing, I realized this was a physiological journey. It seems that, each of the poems I choose and wrote was a stepping stone along the way to defining me. With most stories, there is an overall theme. In my anthology, the theme is a battle between man and himself. That was shown at the very beginning in Bill Knot’s piece Advice From the experts. “The building above a bunch of gawkers perched Along its ledges urged me don't, don't jump.” (Verse 1 Line 3-4 -Bill Knot). It shows my internal battle this spring and being strong willed enough not to give up. The conflict took place last spring. I included details about it in my poem “Benched”. It was such an emotional time to overcome. “Benched, Striped of your pride” (Verse 1 Line 1 -Adrian H). But I chose to be determined and get through it because those are the traits I choose to have as a part of identity. I chose Still I Rise by Maya Angelo because it is all about determination. It seems to be very upbeat and make so much sense to me. The character in the poem is someone whose not worried about what about what anyone else thinks of her. But, does care about her own view of herself. “Still I'll rise” (Verse 3 Line 4 -Maya Angelo) is a philosophy that I live by. Throughout that whole trauma during the spring, I really enjoyed having parents that were so positive and supportive. They helped to make sense of the recent and important events in my life. I celebrated this support in the poem, The Joys of Life. “Stronger than anything that could harm you” (Verse 2 Line 1 -Adrian.H) is where I reflect upon how much of a role my parents play in my life. I have taken this love and affection and absorbed it into my identity. It made me feel like there is no problem too big to solve. I learned that what you take and learn from an experience is more important than what actually happens. Chromosome 18 also plays a huge role in my identity. At was spring time trauma to overcome. It helps to show the sort of support and faith I feel I was born with. It makes me feel strong and appreciated. It reminds me not to take anything for granted. It might be the only reason I got through being benched. From this, I realized I had to choose hope, “Hope is something that grows,that needs to be watered with the sweat of determination” (Verse 3 Line 5-6 -Adrian H) and that’s how I truly feel! I choose to feel hope because it comes from within and it is part of me. To get something straight, I was benched. I understood it, I never complained. I had two choices. Firstly, be that guy saying the “could-of would-of should-of” stuff or secondly, I could accept it and be honored by the privilege to play with this great team. The only way I could justify my place was by choosing to get better and just doing all I could to learn and improve. In my poem freedom it helps to show how I had two choices “To choose to make no choices? Or be happy with the choices we make?” (Verse 3 Line 5-6 -Adrian H). That help speaks to the mental toughness side of my identity.
A Dream by Edger Allen Poe is a poem about broken dreams. “In visions of the dark night I have dreamed of joy departed- But a waking dream of life and light Hath left me broken-hearted.” (Verse 1 Line 1-4 -Edger Allen Poe). This talks about broken dreams and how tortuous it can be. It talks about knowing what it feels like to have a dream and have it taken. Broken dreams pave the road for new ones though. This explains my identity by exploring the trait of passion and the will to move on. I learned that you can dream a better dream. You can make dreams a reality if you work hard enough. The final part to this journey seems to be highlighted in the found poem, “Do not stand at my grave and weep.” “Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die.” (Verse 1 line 10-11 - Mary Frye). I really related to this poem because it contributes to the message, remember but move on with the experience. To remain aware, but satisfied and grateful. This poem represents the traits in my identity like being grounded and moving forward. The one piece of poetry that bring it all together is “If”. The writing style and the setting of conditions completely defines everything I was trying to get across.“If you can dream---and not make dreams your master; If you can think---and not make thoughts your aim, If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same:. If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;” ( Verse 2 Lines 1-8 - Rudyard Kipling). This whole poem pretty much embodies my optimism. This part in particular really says a lot about who I am as a person. It demonstrates courage in your choices, the ability to control yourself, to accept what you’ve done, and learn from your mistakes. After all, self acceptance is the ultimate goal when struggling with internal conflict. I believe the journey I had last spring made this poetry come to life for me. Through exploring the poems it built me up as a person. I learned some valuable life lessons along the way. For that I am grateful and thank all of you who helped get me through it.
