Poem:
As strong as a piece of metal that will never break.
It stands there straight as can be,
Only moving when strong winds run by.Its petals are as pink as the color of strawberry ice cream.The stem is as green as string beans.Its thorns are sharp like the blade of a knife,
Looking threatening as they stick out of the stem.
Prolouge:
Flowers are a wonderful way to brighten our day. I was particularly inspired by Emily Dickinson because in almost all her poetry she uses nature. She uses many literary techniques in her poems to show her interpretations of nature and the world around her. Some themes that triggered my reaction about this poem is seeing nature as an inspiration. I was able to make use of the poetic techniques that I have learned in class like personification, giving human qualities to non human objects as well as similes. Some issues are the disconnection from nature and destruction of nature. Although nature can be seen everywhere around us, but we are still disconnected from nature. Because of technology that had changed our mindset, hence we tend to see nature being more important. I strongly feel that we need to take time off to appreciate the wonders of nature as well as conserving nature.
