A Hobbit Trail to Follow: Daddy.

http://ahobbittrailtofollow.blogspot.com/2014/05/daddy.html

A Hobbit Trail to Follow. Thursday, May 8, 2014. Somebody really likes bees. Or hates them. I don't really know. but Bees. The poem I want to look at today isn't about bees. Its about her Daddy. I think the word "Daddy" is what did it though. It- being the emotional destruction that came upon me while sipping coffee. A term, I, a 23 year old married lady, still calls her daddy. Do I have to compare it to another poem? My goodness, I can't take any more of the emotion for one day. I imagine him drawing a ...

A Hobbit Trail to Follow: On War and Peace.

http://ahobbittrailtofollow.blogspot.com/2014/03/on-war-and-peace.html

A Hobbit Trail to Follow. Wednesday, March 26, 2014. On War and Peace. Once again, racism rears its ugly head. Then I read Maya Angelou's poetry. She's not ignorant to what happened, she's well aware of her ancestor's history. However, she is more removed from slavery than McKay is. She has the ability to see the hope despite the crushing weight of opposition, of wrongdoing. Her poetry, most of it, is more hopeful. In her poem " Million Man March. Let us come together and cleanse our souls,. I also found...

A Hobbit Trail to Follow: I like this word "Redolence"

http://ahobbittrailtofollow.blogspot.com/2014/05/i-like-this-word-redolence.html

A Hobbit Trail to Follow. Thursday, May 8, 2014. I like this word "Redolence". I had never heard this word before, "Redolence" I had to look it up. I like this word, very much so. I read a poem by Michael Burch with the title, "Redolence" so I looked up the word. There ya have it. Seeing a firetruck, and the anxiousness I feel. The poem made me. I saw the figure 5. Through the dark city.". Now darkness ponds upon the violet hills;. Cicadas sing; the tall elms gently sway;. Mosquitoes whine; the lissome m...

A Hobbit Trail to Follow. Wednesday, January 29, 2014. A Volcano. Past and Present. In reading Emily Dickinson's sonnet #754, the imagery she uses surrounding the power of a gun is magnificent. She compares the power of the gun to Mt. Vesuvius, a volcano that destroyed the entire city of Pompeii in AD 79. She makes the gun seem admirable, desirable, and gives the reader a feeling of immortality. The narrator of the poem is the gun, who ends the poem concluding:. For I have but the power to kill,. In the ...

A Hobbit Trail to Follow: Keeping us alive by throwing stones.

http://ahobbittrailtofollow.blogspot.com/2014/05/keeping-us-alive-by-throwing-stones.html

A Hobbit Trail to Follow. Thursday, May 8, 2014. Keeping us alive by throwing stones. A poem within a poem, a poem about a poem, a poem of a poem that became. I don't even know anymore. Words, they just run. But honestly, Muriel Rukeyser's poem "Poem White Page/ White Page Poem" seems like it is about what its like to put words of a poem on a white page. Poem white page white page poem. Something is streaming out of a body in waves. Something is beginning from the fingertips. That breaks on a beach.

A Hobbit Trail to Follow: February 2014

A Hobbit Trail to Follow. Thursday, February 27, 2014. Margaret Atwood is rudely intruding on my blog and I can't make her stop. If any tech-savy lads know how to get the unwanted words off my blog, please share your wisdom. I'm not too fond of the word "sh! T-kickers" being in the middle of an academic blog that has nothing to do with soccer or poop. A Hobbit trail to follow. A Hobbit -ual Metaphor. This basically describes how I felt the past two weeks concerning poetry. YOU WILL NOT DEFEAT ME POETRY!

A Hobbit Trail to Follow: April 2014

http://ahobbittrailtofollow.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

A Hobbit Trail to Follow. Thursday, April 3, 2014. Langston Hughes' poetry is phenomenal on multiple levels. His poetry paints pictures, shows us what is going on. His poetry makes us think and wonder where America went wrong. His poetry makes us cry, get angry and ponder his perspective. Langston Hughes communicates loud and clear in a masterful authoritative voice. He is the voice of protest, of rallying together for change. I got angry at white people. I got frustrated with Hughes. They took me out.
