Poetry Essay - Anaylsis of 9 Poems :: Duffy Armitage Plath Milligan Hood Clarke Heaney

In this piece of coursework I am going to depth psychology and compare a number of poetrys, some written by the analogous authors and some by different authors. All 9 poems have wholeness common link which is Youth. The first poem is called Stealing and it was written by Carol Ann Duffy. This poem is near a troubled young while who takes away a snowman from someones garden and talks nearly other items he has stolen before such as a camera. In this poem there are certain words and phrases which you roll in the hay look up to your sense of sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste. For example when he describes the snowman as A feller with a mind as cold as the slice of ice, which you can use your sense of hearing and hear someone cutting done the ice. Also where he says I was standing whole amongst lumps of snow, where you can usher this person standing there alone with a snowman crushed at his feet. I think this add enjoyment to the poem as it is get you to s ee, hear, feel exactly what is happening in the poem which makes it more real. He uses a lot of metaphors. For an example he talks well-nigh the snowman being as cold as the slice of ice within my testify brain and a fierce chill pierced my gut, where he is public lecture well-nigh the snowman on the outside but also public lecture about how he feels on the inside, cold and lonely. In this poem the poet has chosen to break-dance the events and place a stanza in the middle, so the poem starts off talking about the snowman and what it feels like but the third verse talks about the persons life and then back to talking about the snowman. I think the poet has done this to add more effect to the poem, as it indicates that the person in the poem does not understand themselves let alone explain them self to anyone else. Also that they think about their lifestyle a lot and that they do not understand why they do what they do. In this poem there is no rhyme. I think this is b ecause the poet wants to make the poem sound more serious and realistic than childish with loads of rhyme words.
