Summary

The poems that I have chosen here all relate to destruction in their own well adapted ways. I tried to find poems that all related to destruction well but in different ways. My poems are similar because of the fact that they all have something to do with destruction. If it is either To one Departed about the after math of destruction or Human Destruction about the current events of humans destroying each other they all have the theme destruction in them. My first poem rightly named Destruction explains the idea and imagery of natural destruction. All these engaging poems have the theme of destruction nestled into them but are different as well. Each poem is focusing on a different type of destruction. My first poem targets the natural destruction of the earth created by our hands or the hands of Mother Nature. That poem is my personal favorite because I am interested in the natural side of this topic. The poet explains how he closes his eyes and hears the trees. I like the fact that this poet gives a voice to something that has no voice like a tree or animal. To one Departed is set to target the after math of destruction. Edgar Allen Poe explains a land or place that is now gone. Something beautiful but now gone. Something that is only a memory. My last poem was set to target the human side of destruction. A side we are responsible for. The destruction that we cause on each other. All these poems illustrate destruction but in their own different ways, involving their different types of destruction. The thyme in these poems is very evident. My first poem Destruction shows the destruction of the natural world. Lines like “Destruction of the Earth” and “Destruction of animals” show the clear idea of natural wold being destroyed. The thyme is evident in the poem in how natural subjects are being destroyed. It is very clearly put in this poem. In To one Departed the place the author is describing is a place now gone. A world or place which has been destroyed. He talks about this place now only a memory on the fact of its destruction. My last poem Human Destruction shows the clear actions of humans destroying each other. Some lines in this poem can really make you feel like you are in a destroyed place. For instance the line “When the air is filled with the stench of death” gives it a very dark and deathly theme. These poems emanate destruction at different times and in their own different ways. My favorite and the poem I think matches my theme the most is the properly named poem Destruction. The poem shows destruction clearly and mainly themes around natural destruction. Sometimes the imagery is a bit vague and up to interpretation but this is good. Mostly like I said it applies to natural destruction but it can be interoperated to show all forms of destruction. It really just sums up the theme of this project. The poem reflects the whole idea of destruction.
