My Big Wrap-Up!

The obvious way that my poems are similar is that they are all about music, but I think that they are actually very different. Each one has a different way of analyzing music. The first one; "Natural Music" is using natural examples to create a sad song. The second one; "Music" uses analogies and takes away their critical functions to show how important every single element of music is. And the final poem; "My Music Poem" is about a pecific person's feelings when they listen to music. Good specific observations, Abe!

The theme is evident in each poem in many places. First of all, the titles. They all incorporate music. In the second poem, "Music" it may not be as apparent as in the others that it is about music, because the poet does not make any direct references to music, unlike in the other two poems where they do. Need to push yourself here, Abe. What is the central message that each poet has about poetry? What does music offer?

I think that the second poem has the most effect on me because I really understand it as a musician and how important all of the element of music are. I really admire the poet's creativity and thoughtfulness and I am very inspired by him as a writer. There are several points in your various writings that you refer to the meaning of music in your life, but you needed to expand at each point. That's a critical part of analyzing poetry - how does it really impact you?
