Comparing the Poetry of Robert Frost and Dylan Thomas
[ send me this essay ]
The time honored poetry of Robert Frost has long been considered among the best ever written. The poem, Acquainted With The Night, is no exception and is actually is an example that proves the rule. Dylan Thomas, on the other hand, is often considered more of a modernist, or avant garde, poet. Many of his poems fell so far outside the boundaries of traditional structure that he was considered a fair poet by many, though a few of his poems were on a par with any of the great traditionalists. Do Not Go Gently Into That Good Night is one such poem. This 7 page paper asserts that these poets have been seen to be at different ends of the poetic spectrum; however, for these two poems, at least, they share many more similarities than differences.

The 'Dark Side' Of Social Commentary
[ send me this essay ]
The expert writer must be attuned to the personal and political realities of the reader. The poet most often writes from the soul and their own experience, knowing that what they experience and feel will also connect with the reader’s own experiences and feelings.

Conundrum of Choice
[ send me this essay ]
(5 pp.) Conundrum is a fifty-cent word, which means "riddle." That is often what a choice is. It involves information, intuition and risk; sometimes it appears that spitting into the wind has as much possibility as the productivity of choice. But, who knows, maybe the wind will suddenly change. In examining the idea of change, one way to look at it is through poetry. The ideas of poetry move more fluidly, and are more open to introspection than prose. Poets and poems considered in this discussion will be " Lucille Clifton - "the Lost Baby Poem;" Robert Frost - "Stopping by a Snowy Wood;" and W.H. Auden - "The Unknown Citizen."
