Eng 125 the Boy at the Window

The male child at the window Eng 125 January 10, 2012 poem it is a very real thing as well as emotional. Many people use poetry to write love poems, or even nearly certain things equivalent in the poem The male child at the window (Richard Wilbur). In this poem it shows a lot of emotions as I will discuss in the paragraphs to follow. Poems also are louche or scary. Poems really can be about whatever you indirect request them to be about. He states in his audio that his 5 year quondam(a) son was upset that his father didnt invite the snowman in and wanton him comfortable.The imaginative language of this poem was very interesting. When I first went by dint of and read the poem to myself it seemed as if he was portraying the poem to be very dreary. Having a snowman melt away is a very sad thing for a child and at times they really get int understand why they are on that point one twenty-four hours and therefore gone the next. When I get winded to the poem in the audio adaption it kind of was meant as humor in parts of it. It seemed to really tell apart to life when you could hear people laughing in the back background and to hear how he read it.Figurative language is used in this poem as well a few times. When he states the pale-faced direct with bitumen eyes instead he could have said something simple like the snowman with the coal eyes. I believe this language is used in many a(prenominal) poems to make the poems unique. I study that a poem that throws a small twist in it is something that is very interesting. Irony is also characterized in this poem.

The elements in this poem did not uphold my opinion on the content of the poem.My opinion of the poem wouldnt deepen no matter the element. I found it somewhat a challenge to pin point three particular elements when reading the poem because I think that there could be many. When I found one element that fit it right then I really had to think about how it worked with it and so on. I really enjoyed reading the poems and really found The boy at the window (Richard Wilbur) to be one that I could relate to. When I was a kid I would build snowman all the time and then wonder why they would go away.Then you got the song Frosty the snowman which very if you listen to the lyrics they are actually pretty sad when you get idea about it. I am now put in the resembling situation when building a snowman with my son and have to explain what goes on when buil ding a snowman.
