2. AN APRIL DAY BY HENRY WADSWORTH
LONGFELLOW
When the warm sun, that brings
Seed-time and harvest, has returned again,
'T is sweet to visit the still wood, where springs
The first flower of the plain.
I love the season well,
When forest glades are teeming with bright forms,
Nor dark and many-folded clouds foretell
The coming-on of storms.
From the earth's loosened mould
The sapling draws its sustenance, and thrives;
Though stricken to the heart with winter's cold,
The drooping tree revives.
3. AN APRIL DAY BY HENRY WADSWORTH
LONGFELLOW
The softly-warbled song
Comes from the pleasant woods, and colored wings
Glance quick in the bright sun, that moves along
The forest openings.
When the bright sunset fills
The silver woods with light, the green slope throws
Its shadows in the hollows of the hills,
And wide the upland glows.
And when the eve is born,
In the blue lake the sky, o'er-reaching far,
Is hollowed out and the moon dips her horn,
And twinkles many a star.
4. AN APRIL DAY BY HENRY WADSWORTH
LONGFELLOW
Inverted in the tide
Stand the gray rocks, and trembling shadows throw,
And the fair trees look over, side by side,
And see themselves below.
Sweet April! many a thought
Is wedded unto thee, as hearts are wed;
Nor shall they fail, till, to its autumn brought,
Life's golden fruit is shed.
5. EXPLICATION
An April Day was written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow was an American poet who died at the age of 75 in Cambridge,
Massachusetts. Longfellow mainly wrote lyric poems. Longfellow was a very
successful poet.
An April Day has eight stanzas. Longfellow is explaining a day in April. He’s
explaining what he likes about it. The poem is written well and has great
explanations in it. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow uses plenty of words for you to
understand his point. He makes you feel like you are actually in an April’s day.
He uses so much imagery in his poem. He allows us to go to a different place.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow used ABAB rhyming scheme through the whole
poem. This rhyming scheme fits this poem in the perfect way. It balances out
every single line and makes you understand easily.
This poem is very enjoying because the month of April is one of my favorites. I
can agree with what he is saying and I can enjoy his choice of words. I picked
this poem because my mom feels the same way. Her favorite month is April
because that the month she was born and he name happens to be April. The
poem has great depth to it because it brings great memories. “When the bright
sunset fills, the silver woods with light, the green slope throws. Its shadows in
the hollows of the hills, and wide the upland glows.” This is one of the amazing
stanzas in the poem. This is one of my favorites because I can literally imagine
this. I appreciate beautiful scenery and I know my mom does too. I enjoyed this
poem because I know I won’t forget when April comes along. I have a whole new
meaning for an April day.
6. FOCUSED ON MY FAMILY BY RAYMOND A. FOSS
A night out, cut short
needing to go back home
to put them to bed, to give her rest
time to mend and heal,
no regrets of the change
the redirection home
where we needed to be
resting when we needed to
no regrets at all
7. EXPLICATION
Focused on My Family by Raymond A. Foss is a great poem. This poem
is self-explanatory. “Focused on My Family” gets straight to the point
because it’s one stanza. Even though this is a short poem, it has a
strong message.
Raymond A. Foss was born in Westfield, MA in 1960. He started writing
poetry while serving on the Barrington, NH School in Board in
2000.There are now 13, 356 of his poems on his site called “Poetry
Where You Live.”
I think this poem is a very well written poem because is captures you in
a second. This poem really doesn’t have much to it. His words are very
simply which makes it easy to understand. This is a clear cut poem that
is exactly like my family. I enjoy how he explained a little story in a
poem. I can relate and my family can relate to the poem because I think
a lot of families are this way.
“Focused on My Family” has no rhyme scheme but it also doesn’t need
one. I like how he explains the different people in a family. Something so
simple can be so powerful. This is a poem to share to others families.
8. TOUCHED MY FAMILY BY IVAN DONN CARSWELL
Even from afar came shouts of recognition
joyful voices rang across the years disdained and
faces of our childhood unforgot fit instantly familiar names;
voices still the same despite the extra grey, the extra lines,
like sacred family metaphors not blurred with passing time.
Uncles greeted cousins, nieces hailed their aunts in private spaces
kept for kith and kin, as if by chance this place, and the children’s
children ran and played while old familiars sought out old familiars
and said gooday. Some, lost in paternity-unexplained reserve
feigned acquaintance, made clamorous greetings
never really meeting friendly eyes; we observed
no contradiction, in the art of being Gillgren
ambiguity is a smile disguised. And as more arrived
to swell the throng shyness shifted and was crushed
in the overwhelming warmth of welcome.
That was handshakes day,
a day of greetings, of hugs and patent kisses,
of faded family jokes and famous legends, a day
we traded lissom lies and downright deconstructions,
disavowals and denials, embellishments and exhortations,
9. TOUCHED MY FAMILY BY IVAN DONN CARSWELL
trials and travails, and everywhere without exception,
vibrant, friendly laughter filled the air. We packed the missing years,
relentlessly connecting memories, seeking explanations,
listening with desirous passion. We met again,
to celebrate our names, to celebrate our Patriarch,
Johannes Efraim Gillgren.
The moment which defined it came belatedly
amid a blush of hereditary patience (infused, no doubt,
by alcohol and calmed by pious charity).
We sat together, splendidly naïve on the threshold of our similitude,
watching images of Johannes and forebears on the screen.
The images didn’t cause abjuring sentiment
(we have the pictures in our albums - treasure every one),
but it was no less a shock to find our hows and whys, where
with delinquent validation laid bare, we’d all endured yet come
by signal cause - and now we knew who needed who.
Mine weren’t the only tear-filled eyes, I cried
for Harriet and Johannes, and my parents who had died,
I cried without shame for I love them dear,
and I loved them in secret for fear of discovery; yes, I tell you this,
for how wrong can you be? And in the closeness of that room
I reached out and touched my family
10. EXPLICATION
Ivan Donn Carswell was born in 1965 in Gisborne, New Zealand. Carswell loved
writing for as long as he could remember. Even though Carswell is not very
known, he still had a passion for poetry and shares his amazing talent for others
to read.
Touched my Family by Ivan Donn Carswell is a sweet poem. This poem is telling
a story. I love how he is explaining how his family was like. This poem was also
very sad and heart felt. “Mine weren’t the only tear-filled eyes, I cried, for Harriet
and Johannes, and my parents who had died, I cried without shame for I love
them dear, and I loved them in secret for fear of discovery; yes, I tell you this, for
how wrong can you be? And in the closeness of that room, I reached out and
touched my family.” I thought this part in the poem was very strong. This was a
great way to end the poem because it sticks with you. I appreciate the honesty
of his words and I think this shows great courage for him to write this poem.
“Touched my Family” is a poem that I am happy that I got to read. Poems like
this I didn’t know existed. To know that poems could speak to you or to touch
you in a certain way is powerful. This poem has a great topic, imagery and
inspiration. The best type of poem is a poem that has meaning; “Touched my
Family” is just that.
11. WORKING GIRLS BY CARL SANDBURG
THE working girls in the morning are going to work--
long lines of them afoot amid the downtown stores
and factories, thousands with little brick-shaped
lunches wrapped in newspapers under their arms.
Each morning as I move through this river of young-
woman life I feel a wonder about where it is all
going, so many with a peach bloom of young years
on them and laughter of red lips and memories in
their eyes of dances the night before and plays and
walks.
12. WORKING GIRLS BY CARL SANDBURG
Green and gray streams run side by side in a river and
so here are always the others, those who have been
over the way, the women who know each one the
end of life's gamble for her, the meaning and the
clew, the how and the why of the dances and the
arms that passed around their waists and the fingers
that played in their hair.
Faces go by written over: "I know it all, I know where
the bloom and the laughter go and I have memories,"
and the feet of these move slower and they
have wisdom where the others have beauty.
So the green and the gray move in the early morning
on the downtown streets.
13. EXPLICATION
Working Girls by Carl Sandburg is a touching poem. I really enjoy this
poem because I love the amount of inspiration in the poem. I can’t help
to get a since of what could of or what was in this poem. This poem is
about working girls in downtown stores and factories. Sandburg is
writing was these could do at their age, enjoy life and be free. I love the
concept of the poem; it is a very good idea. My life I take for granted, but
this poem shows me how blessed I really am. I have the freedom to not
work in a factory, I never think I the kids that used to do it. The imagery
in this poem is great because you can really picture what Sandburg is
saying in this poem. Working girls will speak to many young girls. If
every young girl read this poem, I think that they would look at their life
and be appreciative. I really never wondered what my life would be like if
I had to work as a child, but because of this poem I do. This poem
teaches a message. Sandburg has great choosing of words for this
poem. This poem is a free verse which I love. I think this is perfect for
the poem. I love how this poem is so honest and clear for readers.
“Workings Girls” is a structured poem.
14. COME HOME! BY MARY ELIZABETH COLERIDGE
When wintry winds are no more heard,
And joy's in every bosom,
When summer sings in every bird,
And shines in every blossom,
When happy twilight hours are long,
Come home, my love, and think no wrong!
When berries gleam above the stream
And half the fields are yellow,
Come back to me, my joyous dream,
The world hath not thy fellow!
And I will make thee Queen among
The Queens of summer and of song.
15. EXPLICATION
Mary Elizabeth Coleridge is a British novelist and poet. She was born in London
in 1861. Coleridge grew up with some of the greatest writers in her day. “Come
Home!” is not one of her popular poems but one of my favorite poems. This
poem is so relatable, I think this poem is so simply but so large at the same time.
I have read some of Coleridge other poem before so I knew this would be a
good poem to pick.
“Come Home!” is a poem that is written very well. I love the story behind the
poem and the very simple message. This is literally a poem that my mother
would love because the poem is a lot like her; I could see her saying these
words in the poem. This poem has to well written stanzas that anyone could
understand. I feel connected to this poem because it means a lot for me. This is
a type of poem that I could see my mom reading to me when I was a child. This
poem can be shared to any age group. Coleridge has a way with writing poems;
she does such a great job at delivery her message.
“Come home, my love, and think no wrong!” This is probably my favorite line in
the poem because this is something my mom would say. When I read it, I can’t
help to think of her because she will probably say this a lot when I go to college.
Mary Elizabeth Coleridge knows how to speak to people through her poetry. Her
poetry is for people to enjoy it and to be thankful that writers like this existed.
“Come Home!” has great depth to it and can hold your attention easily.
17. I WONDER
To each his own
I’m all alone
I wonder why
I still close my eyes.
I try to think
And then give a quick blink
But I find myself wondering
Why this is happening
What will I do?
If I can’t get through
I start to wonder
Then I fonder
18. MISSING EVERYTHING AROUND ME
Missing everything around me
The trees so big and high
The reach up to the sky
Missing everything around me
The nature that is so big
The birds that fly in a swig
Missing everything around me
The people who I know
The feelings that I used to show
Missing everything around me
The walls that never break
Even the people that I can’t take
Missing everything around me
It’s time to start a new chapter
So I can live happily ever after
Missing everything around me
19. GOOD AND BAD
Looking at a waterfall is so pretty
I love to watch a great image
I also love to look at a great city
It’s like looking at a great voyage
Going to a desert is not a good time
I can’t stand a place that is hot
I rather go for a hike climb
And go eat, a lot
20. I AM
I am quiet and shy
I sometimes dream I can fly
I wish to be success
Even in a day of distress
I am tall and lean
Believe or not I also love to clean
I love to make people laugh
Then help them walk in a straight path
21. MY ROOM
My room is a secret place
I have all my pretty things
In a space that I call mine
In my room I can spread my wings
I love the importance of my room
Nowhere else I can quite bloom
22. EXPLANATION
I dedicate these poems to you mom because of how versatile you can be. All these poems
are very different but they all still remind me of you.
“I Wonder” is a poem I wrote when I try to solve my problems myself. I get confused,
frustrated and then think why I am this way? Then I realize I do need help. The person I
always go to for help is you.
“Missing Everything Around Me” is a poem I wrote just for you. This poem indicates how
you still miss people around you but how you strive and move on no matter what. The last
couple of years had been hard when you lost your mother but you are still thankful for what
you have and also the little things in life, which this poem is about.
“Good and Bad” shows how much we are alike. I show how we are very similar to the
things we like and don’t like. I know your favorite part will be the end because that’s the
part we have most in common.
The person I am today has a lot to do with you, that’s why I wrote “I Am.” I explain myself
in this poem realizing how much I’ve grow was because of you raising me. If I’m feeling
sad, I still wish to be successful and I know that is how you raised me to be. “Believe or not
I also love to clean” I would have never said those words if it weren’t for you.
I love my room and appreciate my room so much. I remember when we moved to our new
house and how we sat in my room together and planned how I was going to design it. You
are the one that basically gave me all the ideas on my room. I don’t think I would love it so
much if you didn’t put so much into it. I know you love to decorate so I’m glad I made that
choice to trust you because it paid off.
23. TO THE BEST MOM!
Mom, you’ve have always been there for me.
You are the biggest role model in my life and will
always be. I thank you for all you’re support and
raising me into a strong woman. I dedicate this
project to you because you mean so very much
to me. You know very well I don’t show much
emotion and say how thankful I am to have a
mother like you enough. I’m glad I have the
chance to show how much you mean to me
through this project. You are my educator, my
support, and someone I can always lead on.
You are the best! I love you!
