Reflection #5: Poems

The poems have elements that make it more real and have us experiences thought images. The images have us verbal pictures that appeal to our senses. In the “Poem” of William Carlos Williams the line and stanza transform the poem in a rhythmic vernal picture because you can image what the cat is doing step by step. In “Calvary Crossing a Ford” by Walt Whitman you can imagine all the troop’s actions with the details that the poem have to us. In “Windsurfing” by Davis Solway the rhythm of the poem starts low and in the progress is more intensive and this help to imagine the poem. In “RootCellar” by Theodore Roethke the tone of the images and mood of the speaker are consistent and In Matthew Arnold’s “Dover Beach” they shift as the theme is developed. In Ezra Pound’s “In a Station of the Metro” the title is essential for this poem because help to imagine the setting and two sentences have selected words that make the poem to imaging to where are you looking in the metro.
