Q. Let us walk in the white snow In a soundless space; With footsteps quiet and slow, At a tranquil pace, Under veils of white lace. I shall go shod in silk, And you in wool, White as white cow's milk, More beautiful Than the breast of a gull. We shall walk through the still town In a windless peace; We shall step upon white down, Upon silver fleece, Upon softer than these. We shall walk in velvet shoes: Wherever we go Silence will fall like dews On white silence below. We shall walk in the snow. Elinor Wylie ^^^ What is the author inviting the reader to do? What about the snowy scene is the author most trying to convery

A. The author is inviting one to appreciate the beauty of the snow, the whiteness of winter, in a quiet way, as seen by 'soundless', 'quiet', 'tranquil' emphasising a totally peaceful surrounding in the first paragraph. As for what about the snowy scene is the author most trying to convey, it should be the whiteness, since the word 'whiteness' is repeated throughout the poem.

Every time I read war poetry I start to cry and grow mournful Why?
Q. Hey. Every time I read war poetry, especially war poetry involving soldier's dying and touching war poetry, I begin to get very sad and mournful. I then start to cry. But, I have a few family members that have served in the military before, but none that were actually K.I.A. or killed or anything. And, they've retired, so their not on active duty. Why is this? Why do I cry and grow sad every time I read any kind of war poetry?

A. Maybe you sympathize for people that have lost there loved ones in war because you respect it more for having family that has served. That would be my guess.

What kinds of poetry are most often published in literary journals and read?
Q. My best guess: realistic, unrhymed, free verse, less than a page, lyrical-realistic real life observations using lots of concrete nouns and daily action - this is the kind of poetry most published. I live in Australia, where laconic and practical poetry seems to be the deal. But is it thus all over the West? And, can you correct my mis-impressions of poetry publishing if they are incorrect please?

A. I don't know about professional publishing, but from my experience publishing our school Literary Magazine, there is not "type" of poetry that gets the most attention. It really is the quality of the poem in its entirety rather than any single element. It's true that it seems that usually poems that are half a page to a full page long are more often published than others, but that's mostly because it's harder to make an impact with a short haiku or a poem in the style of Allen Ginsberg's "Howl". It's not to say that these poems are not bad, just those who write it tend not to be able to do the style justice. Any poem can be published if written from a talented pen.

A. You own the copyright to a poem from the moment you write it. You can pay to register your copyright, but that's probably not necessary at this stage of your writing career. This site has complete information on U.S. copyright law: As for publishing your work, the book "Poet's Market" is full of useful information about publishing opportunities. Most poets don't publish a book until after they have established a reputation by publishing lots of individual poems in magazines.

How can I put myself into the mindset to write poetry quite quickly?
Q. I can only write poetry about my experiences because I am a very analytical and logical person, when i go into whimsical i just spite my creations.

Asked by Cassidy Curiosity - Mon Jul 7 07:47:47 2008 - - 4 Answers - 2 Comments
A. Back in ancient Greece poetry recitation was a competetive performance art that could earn prizes comparable to the awards won by olympic atheletes. In the 60s, beat poets performed poetry, including important authors such as Allen Ginsberg and William S. Burroughs. Today poetry recitation is a performance art in forensics teams in high schools, and you'll often see poets performing in coffee shops and stuff. To me poetry recitation is like playing an instrument, where you take some ink on paper and you bring it to life so that everyone can enjoy it. I mean, writing poetry is an art as writing music is, but the oral interpretation adds a whole extra level to the experience.

What is a good, explanatory poetry anthology for literature beginners?
Q. I'm a high school student who loves literature and poetry, but I'm disappointed with how little poetry we read in school. Do you know of any good poetry books which have a variety of classical and famous poetry also with some background information about the poets, time period, etc. Not something too expensive, and not a textbook, but something for reading on my own time.

A. The hands-down best is the Norton Anthology of Poetry. This book is used in college-level English courses and is excellent. It's not a textbook - it doesn't have questions or activities or exercises. It's a comprehensive volume of the most important poetry ever written. It covers all the important periods and movements in poetry; footnoted references for obscure words or concepts; and each section includes author biographies and historical context. It's about $40 but I promise it's worth it, and you could probably find it for less on half.com or ecampus.com.

A. refrains are used a lot in art in general for different reasons one being that it makes the piece more integrated and whole, kind of like balancing color in a painting by using the same color. Medieval and Renaissance villanelles were simple ballad-like songs which of course used repetition and refrains to create rhythm, which is also what poetry attempts to do by using the same device, including the refrain structure in pantoums.

Q. Not a symbol, but I'm doing an analysis on The Black Panther by John Wheelock, and I need to know what the specific poetry term is for this.

And personification is giving a nonliving thing human characteristics, this is giving an abstract emotion the form of an animal.

A. Prose is the most typical form of language. The English word 'prose' is derived from the Latin pr sa, which literally translates as 'straight-forward.' Prose lacks the more formal structure of a poem, in the guise of either a meter or rhyme, but instead comprises full sentences, which then constitute paragraphs

How do I transition from writing poetry to writing song lyrics?
Q. I write a lot of poetry, which lately has been going over well with the general public. o.o I'm 14 and starting to play the guitar, so far I'm getting it pretty well. There's a BIG musical history in my family. I like to sing and (not really play) but have fun with different instruments. I keep attempting to smoothly turn a poem into a song but every time I fail miserably. Are there any tips to help me write in a different style?

A. Maybe, to start out, get a simple tune down and try to write the lyrics according to the music as opposed to the other way around. I don't have any personal experience writing lyrics, but I had a friend who used to be a lyricist, and that always seemed to be her process. Even if the method doesn't stick, it might get you in the habit of having the tune in mind from the start of the writing process, rather than trying to incorporate it partway through--which might not be what you're doing anyways, but I thought I'd suggest it.
