Poem express how people feel and they can even change the way you feel at that time. They can make you feel happy or sad so is that the reason why we like them or is it more. Well a poem I enjoy was called ‘For Poets’’. The reason I enjoy that poem was because it included a good use of vocabulary, it included comparison, and it had a good rhythm to it.
First of all, I enjoyed the poem ‘’For Poets’’ because I like their use of vocabulary. Their choice of words all stayed on topic and just random thoughts. In the poem a verse stated ‘’Come on out into the sunlight, breathe in trees’’. This verse used the words sunlight and trees, which connects because trees need sunlight to grow. The choice of words sounded very smooth because they all lead to the same thing, which happened to be the main topic. The main topic of the poem discussed people who live their life in the shadows and how those people are afraid to come out into the light and live their lives.
Secondly, I liked the poem ‘’For Poets’’ because it included comparison. In the poem a verse ‘’but don’t stay down underground to long, don’t turn into a mole…’’ which compared people who hold their head down to a mole in a hole in the ground. Another verse in the poem said ‘’Come on out into the sunlight, breathe in trees’’ which means that we need to live our lives and don’t be afraid to them to the fullest.
Lastly, I enjoyed the poem called ‘’For Poets’’ because of the rhythm. ‘’For Poets’’ had a very nice flow. It all came together and the poem had no words that sounded out of place. In the poem a verse stated ‘or’ Don’t turn into a worm or a root’’ which all flowed together because they all live underground. The included repetition too. The author used repetition when repeating the word ‘’or’’ when comparing the different things that live in the ground. I like how everything all connected to each other. One of the verses said ‘’Come out into the sunlight, breathe in trees’’. In that verse sunlight and trees connected because trees need sunlight to live and that connects to the whole purpose of the poem. It connects to the whole purpose of the poem because when the poem starts off, it’s about people that need to live their life and come out of the shadows and in order to do that they have to come out into the sunlight. Like the trees, we need to be in the sunlight to live a successful life and to live our life to the fullest.
To sum it up, I enjoyed the poem ‘’For Poets’’ because I liked their use of vocabulary, I like how they included comparison, and I liked the rhythm of the poem. ‘’For Poets’’ flowed together and there was nothing that went off topic. This poem included a good positive message that shows people that you need to live your own life and not how other people think you should live it.
