Interpretation

INTERPRETATION

Definition: explanation of the meaning of something

Example:  All that I love
I fold over once
And once again
And keep in a box
Or a slit in a hollow post
Or in my shoe.

All that I love?
Why, yes, but for the moment-
And for all time, both.
Something that folds and keeps easy,
Son's note or Dad's one gaudy tie,
A roto picture of a queen,
A blue Indian shawl, even
A money bill.

It's utter sublimation,
A feat, this heart's control
Moment to moment
To scale all love down
To a cupped hand's size

Till seashells are broken pieces
From God's own bright teeth,
And life and love are real
Things you can run and
Breathless hand over
To the merest child.

Significance:  to understand the poems

Assonance

ASSONANCE
Definition: the repetition of similar vowel sounds, but different consonants in a line
Example: She sells seashells on the seashore


Significance: For me, I really like to read poems that repeat something like assonance. It makes the poems more fun to read.

Meter

METER
Definition: the pattern of how should we read in poems
Example: picture next to it.
Significance: shows people the way we should read the poems. If there are not patterns, we would read the poems with the same tone, and that makes it boring.

Odes

ODES
Definition: a long poem that celebrates something
Example:  Fly me to your heavenly garden of peace
With your pure and perfect pallid wings
Carry me to my fairest hopes and dreams
And put my feet up on your red roses bed.

Bless my mornings with your comforting touch
And feed me with your sweetest smiles
I'll drink your tears to heal my pains
And live with you forevermore.

Guide me to my future successes
With your eyes so angelic and divine
Sing your most romantic melodies
Erase my worries and perflexities.

O my dearly beloved angel of heavens
Your smell I breathe awakens me
Embrace me with your warmest arms
Forever I will live with thee.

Significance: When you celebrate something about someone, and you write poems about it, it shows that - that person has done something great that makes other people respect.

Couplet

COUPLET
Definition: two lines that rhymes at the end

Example: I found a starfish in the bay
               When I was fishing yesterday
               Starfish, starfish in the ocean
               Moving along in slow motion

Significance: Just like others, couplet will make the poems more interesting and fun to read.

Onomatopeia

ONOMATOPOEIA

Definition:  words are used to imitate sounds
Example: Baa baa black sheep, have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full!
One for the master, one for the dame,
And one for the little boy who lives down the lane. 

Significance: Onomatopoeia makes the poem sounds more fun. While we read we can hear the sounds in our ears like sheep, dogs, deers, cats, ...

Lyric

LYRIC
Definition: form of poetry that express personal's feelings.

Example:

I heard a fly buzz when I died;
 

The stillness round my form
 

Was like the stillness in the air
 

Between the heaves of storm.

Significance: it's like writing a song that shows personal's feelings. These feelings can come from experiences.
