Poetry Comparison “Poetry is language at its most distilled and most powerful.” By anonymous. In the Poems One Perfect Rose and How do I love the? Let me count the ways, they talk about similar things but there forms are very different. In this poems I will compare and contrast their forms, themes and rhyme. In One perfect rose and how do I love the? Let me count the ways, these two poems have a lot in common. The first thing they have in common is the subject they talk about.

    As Edgar Allan Poe once stated, “I would define, in brief the poetry of words as the rhythmical creation of beauty.” The two poems, “Birthday,” and “The Secret Life of Books” use different diction, theme, and perspective to give them a unique identity. Each author uses different literary devices to portray a different meaning.

    In his preface of the Kokinshū poet Ki no Tsurayaki wrote that poetry conveyed the “true heart” of people. And because poetry declares the true heart of people, poetry in the minds of the poets of the past believed that it also moved the hearts of the gods. It can be seen that in the ancient past that poetry had a great importance to the people of the time or at least to the poets of the past. In this paper I will describe two of some of the most important works in Japanese poetry the anthologies of the Man’yōshū and the Kokinshū. Both equally important as said by some scholars of Japanese literature, and both works contributing greatly to the culture of those who live in the land of the rising sun.

    The work “love poem” is a wonderfully short poem by Linda Pastan that focuses on how brief a relationship can be, and that one should appreciate every moment while they’re living it. The relationship described is one that is overwhelming, but with a strong connection between the two lovers that are in it. The lovers have many obstacles to overcome, and do, but eventually the relationship comes to an end. Pastan uses language and formatting, as well as symbols, characterization, and imagery to describe this short and sweet relationship, comparing this love to a creek.

    A quote from Seamus Heaney’s poem entitled “Summer 1969” is “He painted with his fists and elbows, flourished / The stained cape of his heart as history charged” which will greatly influence my discussion of his developing expressions of his role as an Irish poet. In this essay I will be discussing his poems entitled “Bog Queen”, “Punishment” and “Summer 1969”. In discussing any poet, one must always consider the social and political background to the poetry since poetry never exists in a vacuum but is always influenced by its social and political times. As a northern poet, Heaney’s work is very much connected to the troubles in the north and his vision is bound up with that of civil disturbance. Heaney benefited from the connection to Britain in such matters as free education and free medical care but as a Catholic and native Irishman, he was also part of the oppressed. Heaney like all northern poets, shows a very clear and differential history of the six counties. Like all other male poets of his time, Heaney stood in the shadow of the internationally acclaimed and hugely influential, W.B. Yeats. Yeats’ use of poetic form and his mastery over the art of poetry was daunting for his successors. Yeats kept to traditional form, meters and rhyme and was a master craftsman. Heaney, similarly to Yeats, has an extraordinary gift for rhymes and a songlike quality to his poetry. Unlike poets like Thomas Kinsella who reject and move away from the style of Yeats, Heaney retains such qualities in the Yeatsian era. Heaney is from a rural background and is remote from the cities and the cosmopolitan and his work is steeped in Catholic rhetoric. While Heaney, the man, is cosmopolitan, his poetry is not and this is a positive thing....

    Since these two poems deal with completely different aspects of love, they must have been written differently. Their different forms can be analyzed to get the individual interpretation of meaning gathered from each. They both come across differently to the reader. One poem is about sexual love, and the other poem is about the end of love. This just shows that not all love poems are about falling in love.
