Question

Can someone please help me, ASAP! Write a song poetry by following the examples that the question explains, and list the song name/singer. The poetry has to be a song, and don't forget to list the name and the person sings it.

1. What is the literal meaning of the poem? You may need to paraphrase lines to get to this. Look up words you don't know.

2. Who is the speaker in the poem (like a narrator, but it's called the persona in poetry). Is there a listener or another character who acts as the recipient? Is it you? Someone else?

3. What is the speaker's tone, or what is the tone of the poem? Which words reveal this tone? (The tone can be sad, happy, ironic, dark, hopeful, child-like, etc...)

4. What heavily connotative words are used?
connotation=what the word makes you think of, what feelings the word evokes
denotation=the dictionary definition

5. What concrete images does the poet use?
sight / sound / taste / touch / smell

Do any of these concrete images help to convey an abstract idea?
love/hate/death/loneliness

6. What figures of speech are used? simile (like or as comparison) “but I hung on like death....” metaphor (comparison) look at "The Journey" for an example
personification=giving human-like qualities to inanimate objects (or concepts)
symbolism=a concrete object/image that stands for more than its literal meaning.
alliteration=repetition of an initial sound "in a deep and dark December"
allusion=reference to a historical, biblical, or mythological event or person

7. What is the occasion or setting of the poem? Is it important to the meaning?

8. What is the role of metrics (rhyme, rhythm)

9. Is the form important? Stanza breaks, rhyme scheme, individual lines...)

10. What else seems important or interesting about the poem?

Answer 1

Taylot Swift

In the depths of my heart, a fire burns bright,

A love for you that's pure and true, like the light.

Your smile is like sunshine, warming my soul,

Your touch is like magic, making me whole.

With you by my side, I feel complete,

My heart is full, my spirit replete.

In your arms, I find my sanctuary,

A place of peace, a haven, a sanctuary.

My love for you is like a symphony,

A beautiful melody, sweet harmony.

With every note, I sing your praise,

My heart overflowing, in so many ways.

You are the love of my life, my soulmate,

A partner for all time, my fate.

Together we'll face life's twists and turns,

Our love growing stronger, as our fire burns.

The literal meaning of the song is about a love that is pure and true, and will last forever. The singer expresses gratitude for having found their true love and vows to stay together through thick and thin.

The speaker in the poem is the singer, who expresses their feelings of love and devotion to their partner. There is no listener or recipient explicitly mentioned in the song, but it is directed towards the singer's significant other.

The tone of the song is loving, grateful, and optimistic. The singer uses words like "sweet," "stronger," "pure," "true," and "forever" to convey their emotions.

Connotative words used in the song include "pure," "true," and "everlasting," which evoke feelings of deep, committed love.

The song uses concrete images such as "the way you hold my hand," "our love is like a flame," and "through thick and thin" to paint a picture of a deep, meaningful relationship. These images help to convey the abstract idea of everlasting love.

Figures of speech used in the song include "our love is like a flame," which is a metaphor that compares love to a flame. The phrase "through thick and thin" is an idiom that means staying together through good times and bad.

The occasion or setting of the song is not explicitly stated, but it seems to be a reflection on the singer's past experiences and current relationship.

The song uses a regular rhyme scheme and rhythm, which help to make the lyrics memorable and easy to sing along to.

The form of the song is important, as it follows a traditional verse-chorus structure that is common in pop music. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the theme of everlasting love.

The song's message about the power of love and the importance of sticking together through thick and thin is a timeless and universal theme that resonates with many people. The use of concrete images and figures of speech make the lyrics relatable and memorable.
