Okay, this is getting ugly now.
This is after the after.

And this is the “after” image. I don‘t think I‘ve ever done this to a poem before. I practically dissected the thing.

A Poetry Handbook | Mary Oliver

This was a nice example of how sounds (types of letters and letter combinations) effect the feeling/environment evoked by a poem.
Think of this as the “before” image.

CBee Adore this poem ♥️ 4y

GingerAntics @CBee it is quite a lovely poem. I loved Oliver‘s explanation of why it feels almost whispered, and then the third stanza feels a bit different. 4y

CBee @GingerAntics it does seem that way! I never thought of it like that. 4y

GingerAntics @CBee neither had I. This book is awesome! 4y

CBee @GingerAntics so glad you found one that‘s inspiring you! 4y

GingerAntics @CBee she‘s suggesting that learning to talk and walk, play a sport, read a book, even draw or paint, we imitate first (usually our parents and caregivers) so why is that so frowned upon in poetry? That makes sense to me. Reading poetry is much different than writing it, so take a poem you like, imitate it a couple times, you‘re now far better able to making something of your own. It‘s not “here is a graphic about simile, now write a poem.” 4y

CBee @GingerAntics her process sounds easier, more relaxed even. 4y

GingerAntics @CBee it really seems that way! I should have just started with hers. Own well. Live and learn. 4y

CBee @GingerAntics it‘s the journey, not the destination ♥️ 4y

GingerAntics @CBee exactly 4y

Stopping by woods on a snowy evening | Robert Frost, Susan Jeffers

pick

This poem is so beautiful and it perfectly captures the magical essence of a snowy wood. It reminds me to pause, and really admire and appreciate the little things, and the small moments that bring about a warm glow of happiness. Take a look around and notice the little things that bring a smile to your face or gives you a warm, fuzzy feeling. You can get back to the rush of life after a few seconds.
