COMPOSE POEMS

I searched for two poems and analyzed the rhyming scheme and metrical pattern then I challenged myself making poems using the same scheme and patterns.

Emily Dickinson is an american poet who became popular post-humously because of her poems that mostly discusses about flowers and gardens, confessions on life and love, morbidity or death, exploration and gospel. But despite those prevailing themes, one that is unique on Dickinson's work is the use of iambic pentameter pattern.

This is one of her poems bearing the iambic pentameter.

There is no frigate like a Book

To take us lands away

Nor any coursers like a Page

Of prancing Poetry.

This Traverse may the poorest take

Without oppress of Toll -

How frugal is the Chariot

That bears a Human soul.

I made my own poem using the same iambic pentameter pattern.

Life is so Great and you should know

Not to cry and cast away

Life is there so find it now

To some girl in the town.

This challenge may each one face

No prejudice among all

How cheap a man so coward

Not facing his own Fate.

Robert Frost is also an american poet whose main theme is his prolific poems are rural life and nature. In his poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay", he used rhyming couplet schemes in iambic trimeter pattern.

Nature's first green is gold,

Her hardest hue to hold.

Her early leaf's a flower;

But only so an hour.

Then leaf subsides to leaf.

So Eden sank to grief,

So dawn goes down to day.

Nothing gold can stay.

I tried to follow his schemes and pattern.

Her face so soft, so great,

Her beauty great to rate

I want to dance with her

But she want me never.

My love for her then fades

Wasted all efforts made.

Care not to ever try

So now I bid goodbye.
