Understanding Poetry
Quote
” Perhaps the most challenging material you will have to read in college is poetry. While the message of some poems may be fairly simple–“Enjoy your youth while it lasts,” for instance–the way poets put words together often makes this message elusive. Writers don’t write this way just to annoy you; rather, their sophisticated vocabulary and complex syntax help them to write with precision, to tease out the subtleties of nature and the human mind, and to create certain effects. When you read a poem, you should begin by trying to figure what the poet is saying on the surface: the content of the poem. When you can summarize this content in a few sentences, examine the way the poet conveys this content; in other words, analyze the poem’s form. Finally, determine how the content and form work together to create the poem’s meaning. Think of a poem as an equation: form + content = meaning. The term for analyzing a poem in this way is “explication.” “

** FOOD OF LOVE **

SPIKE MILLIGAN
Four years she ate my dinners
Four years she drank my wines
And all the while
I was nourishing her
For some other crummy swines
Don’t you just love him !! :)
Inside everyone hides one desire
Outside no one would know
Danger close to the edge of the knife
Safer not to let go
And while we miss chances
You can almost hear time slipping awayChorus:
We close our eyes we never lose a game
Imagination never lets us take the blame
We close our eyes to see the final frame
We close our eyes to time slipping awayNo show Wednesday girl waits with the wine
She knows just what to say
While no one listens
You can almost hear time slipping awayWe close our eyes we never lose a game
Imagination never lets us take the blame
We close our eyes to see the final frame
We close our eyes and…We can talk to strangers
We are burning with the spark
And we can walk on water
We are tigers in the dark
We are burning!Heroes never give in to the night
He knows how far he can run
And as he surrenders
You can almost hear time slipping away…Chorus
