The poem I'm doing this week is "A Poison Tree." I thought it was fitting with our lessons on allusions this week. This poem is alluding to the"Tree of Knowledge" in the bible. It statrs out with someone being mad with his friend but then he talked to him and everything was ok. Then he was angry with a foe and his anger grew into a tree that bore a red apple in his "garden." The foe is the devil in this situation. "And it grew both day and night till it bore an apple bright; and my foe beheld it shine, and he knew that it was mine." The allusion is to God and his garden of Eden with the apple and his "foe." The apple and the grudge however is the first example of sin. He didn't forgive or talk to his enemy and his sin grew and grew until it was an apple; which then alludes to the apple in Genesis which is the first "sin" in the bible that casts out Adam and Eve. This is a 4 stanza poem with each stanza having 4 lines per stanza and an AB rhyme scheme.

This week I'm doing "you fit into me." The author wrote it short and sweet but wanted it to be straight to the meaning. It's a similie; a two stanza two line short poem that makes up the entire simile. There's no puncuation and nothing is capitalized either. The other did this to put more meaning behind her poem. "you fit into me like a hook into an eye a fish hook an open eye" is the entire poem. Wheh I read this poem I cringe a fish hook in your eye would probably be one of the worst pains EVER!!!!!! OUCH!!!!! AH!!!!! Ok anyway, the author wants the reader to know that she's hooked on this person that hurts her to an unbelieveable level. She can't hwlp but love this person when all she wants in the entire world is to get rid of this fish hook in her open eye! The reason i believe this is because if you try to get the fish hook out of the eye; you're going to loose your frickin eye. She is pained so much and is going to lose so much from this "hook."

The poem this week is "The Guitarist Tunes Up." This poem is quick and sweet. It's short but has a cool meaning at the same time. When I read it I imagined the author was at like an open mic night or something and a guitarist went up on stage. Before he started to play he bowed over his guitar because it's allready strapped around him. The author noted this though for a reason he wanted the reader to know that this wasn't a rock concert or "Not as a conqueror who could Command both wood and wire." The author wants the reader to see that this guitarist loved what he does and it's a tender sweet love that he cherishes just like the love betweena man and a woman. That's the next metaphor he uses he compares the guitar to a woman and how the guitarist plays it and loves it is like the sweet and passionate love of a man and woman. This poem is a one stanza poem with 8 lines and an A-B rhyme scheme.
