Personification: Lodged by Robert Frost

Can the rain really talk to the wind? Can the wind really listen to the rain? Can flowers really kneel?

Well my theory is that all things in nature have some way of communicating with one another, so i believe they did talk, listen and kneel.

What are some of the effects that the tool of personification brings to this poem?

In the poem the personification gives the wind, rain and flowers the characteristics of a human being.

If the rain and wind and flowers were real people, how would one describe the event that is occurring?

If this was an actual event they would probably be in an argument of an work place.

If the flowers were real people, how do they feel after the wind and rain "smote" the garden bed?

I believe if the flowers were real people, they would think they were getting robbed or ransacked.

Speculate on why the spectator of the poem empathizes with the flower?

I think the speaker is saying that hes the flower and how he views the world as a flower.

Simile Poem: My Friend

She is as crazy as a rooster;
Still I love her like a sister.
Her hair is black and dark
Like the color of the midnight sky.
Her skin is as pale as flour
Placing her among the Twilight vampires.

Similes

Football is like a battlefield.
MMA is like Karate on drugs.
Croquet is like war.

Halloween is like a monster frenzy.
Christmas is like epiphany.
Valentines Day is like the tragedey of Romeo and Juliet.

My father is like a human weapon.
My mother is like sunshine
I am like an assassin in the night.

Metaphor Poem

Reading is my heart.
Filling me with knowledge.
Reading is my prayer.
Filling me with hope.
Reading is my soul.

It teaches me how to cope.

Tall Poem

I’m bigger than the entire earth
More powerful than the sea
Though a million, billion have tried
Not one could ever stop me.
I control each person with my hand
and hold up fleets of ships.
I can make them bend to my will
with one word from my lips.
I’m the greatest power in the world
in this entire nation.
No one should ever try to stop
a child’s imagination.
