Poetry

Two poems that stood out to me are very similar in a way and different meanings. These are two poems that have a very strong meaning to the writer and impact the audience who read this. “Photograph from September 11”, and “Letter composed during a lull in the fighting” are great poems that have very strong meanings to them. Great poems like these two we can all relate too and bring emotion to many.
Photograph from September 11 is a poem that we can all relate to this being a horrible black day that brought a great scare to America. We all remember that day like if it had happen a couple hours ago. The writer of this poem describes in unique lines what horrible stuff was going on. She describes how lives are just being thrown out the window and splattered blood all over the place. This to me brought some emotion to me just remembering how hundreds of loved ones where lost that day.
Another great poem is “letter composed during a lull in the fighting”. Kevin Powers writes this poem of how much meaning his weapon is describing it through a loved one. He talks about “Her” as someone he loves and his weapon he goes to war with. To my knowledge these are the most valuable thing and person he has. Many of us have loved ones that we adore and also have stuff we love. Human beings have strong feelings that can easily become hurt though this writer finds more love for his weapon instead of the person which, to me this tells me that war can emotionally ruin a person’s life.
These two poems are very strong emotion wise and can truly bring a tear to a person. Two great poems that caught my attention and many of us can relate too in many ways. These two poems express harsh feelings that speak the truth in an emotional way and make the audience think of what this world we live in has really become into a fighting zone.
