The Guitarist Tunes Up
I felt like this poem describes the passion of a musician very well. The carefullness before strumming a note. It ads a love theme that could be taken either as a love between a man and a woman or a lvoe the man has for his instument. It also shows the power he has over his guitar. "Command both wire and wood". That line was very powerful. Cornford shows the bond a musician has with their instument very well.
A Poision Tree
I found this poem very interesting. It talks about emotions we can all relate to, such as anger and fear. People may not want to admit they have these emotions, but it is a very common occurance in all of us. Blake talks about being angry with a friend but eventually getting over it. Also a very relatable subject. We have all been mad at a friend. Most of us dont take it to the extreme that Blake descirbes, but we have been mad none the less. I felt that this was a very dark poem but a very deep one as well.
Turning Pro
This peom really hit home because I grew up playing sports. Everyone who has ever plalyed a sport has a dream of seeing their name on a scoreboard. People cheering you on, in awe at your success. All througout sports you will also have people who doubt you. The moment you prove them wrong is the best feeling ever. This poem really describes how important it is to never give up. I really enjoyed this poem, even though I have never played baseball.
The explosion
This poem paints a picture to me. It paints a picture to me on a mine explosion and all the things that came along with it. It talks about the wives that lost their husbands. It also talks about all the men going to heaven in "beards and moleskins". This poem really makes me sad because you can almost feel the emotion of the mourning people. Yeats did a really wonderful job on this poem.
