<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Repetition- the reuse of a sentence or word to add emphasis to that statement or add meaning to that statement.

How does this tool help to create the poem’s overall meaning? <span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">I used repetition in this poem to show importance to the few but much repeated lines. In this case, I use it to show that I really am alone, by myself, to show how I must face the coming trials ahead.

<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"> 3. How does this tool help to create the poem’s overall meaning?

I used an extended metaphor to life when you set off to college, so to show that life although it can be fun at first, that it can become more difficult as time passes on. Later on the last line the storm moved along rumbling, shows that eventually hardships in life end, from college at least, and it will become easier to move on. The metaphor was what was supposed to be take away from the poem, and thus carried the most meaning I think.

The Feeling

By Rory Dunn

Have you ever had that Feeling? That Feeling when you do something perfectly, Or do something your proud of? A giddy, unpredictable Feeling, of self accomplishment, That explodes into a million butterflies that flutter against your stomach gently, A Feeling that moves you slowly around the corner onto the runway, Where you pick up speed, and happiness along the way, Until you finally spread your arms, pick yourself up, and fly! The Feeling makes you float gently down, While at the same time pings you with great excitement. And when It finally disperses you are left, tingling from the experience, Waiting for the successes you make to take you to that place Again.

<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Line break <span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"> 2. What is the definition of the tool? <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif;">Line Break- The end of one line, that leads into another line. Is used to add emphasis or pauses in poetry. <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif;"> <span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"> 3. How does this tool help to create the poem’s overall meaning? <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif;"> I used line breaks in this poem to add a <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif;">surprise <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif;"> to the poem, I wanted the reader to think what will happen next, why did he pause here? Why did he break at this point instead of this one? For example I ended the poem in one word, <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif;">because I thought its summed up the experience I was describing, short and sweet. <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif;">

**<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 16pt; letter-spacing: 0.95pt; text-transform: uppercase;">ROCK AND HAWK ** BY ROBINSON JEFFERS Here is a symbol in which Many high tragic thoughts Watch their own eyes. This gray rock, standing tall On the headland, where the sea-wind Lets no tree grow, Earthquake-proved, and signatured By ages of storms: on its peak A falcon has perched. I think, here is your emblem To hang in the future sky; Not the cross, not the hive, But this; bright power, dark peace; Fierce consciousness joined with final Disinterestedness; Life with calm death; the falcon’s Realist eyes and act Married to the massive Mysticism of stone, Which failure cannot cast down Nor success make proud.
