A Hobbit Trail to Follow: January 2014
http://ahobbittrailtofollow.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
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 ...

Punch Injustice in the Face. Your weekly dose of Poetry, Feminism, and Nerdy all in one place. May 8, 2014. One Last Hurrah: Three Poets and Something New. This is it. My last post for class. It’s been an adventure and I can’t help but be glad for this assignment. It’s grown me as a writer and reader. So without further ado, allow me to look at not one, not two, but three Modern poets for my final post. (If you can’t tell, I’m playing catch up.). 8221; from The Book of the Dead and my poem below. No long...

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...

Punch Injustice in the Face. Your weekly dose of Poetry, Feminism, and Nerdy all in one place. April 3, 2014. Langston Hughes deserves the hug Walter Dean Meyers would give him. 8221; and Walter Dean Meyers’ poem “ Harlem: A poem. 8221; (This may in fact be an excerpt from his novel. But the internet is not being very resourceful today.). The constant juxtaposition is discomforting, and serves to make the reader realize how problematic and the situation is. Sparrows sit on fire escapes. To learn the tunes.

About This (About Time For An Update). Nothing ever goes away enough or arrives enough,/ and I want to cry when I think of my heart,/ muscle pounding in muscle, greedy always for joy. – 'A Warning', Eric Anderson. I watched the grass grow green on the back porch. Then turn gray with the stone. It took me almost a month. To brush off the dust. And breathe in a cloud. Of something new gone old. I have spent a long time. Coughing up a lover. From the very bottom of my throat. November 30, 2010. Erasure Proj...

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.

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...
