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 who 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?

Folk Song

A folk song is a piece of music that was composed within the parameters of folk music. These songs are usually about a particular group of people, an event, or an experience.

They were traditionally performed on folk instruments, never written down, and had unknown origins. This means that the source of many folk songs is unknown. This includes where exactly they came from as well as who wrote the lyrics and/or music. The term “folk music” came into the lexicon in the 19th century but the music of the genre was created and performed long before that.
