Recommended: Comparing and contrasting music and poetry

Poetry and music both connections amongst each other, that make each other almost identical. Musicians use poetry to write their songs and sometimes write a poetic song first without the lyrics, then add music in it to finalize the song. Both are two different but the same style of literature. The poem “Promises like Pie-Crust” has two versions to it, the poem itself and the song version, but both are almost identical.
I believe in the poem of “Promises like Pie-Crust” and the song version of it are very similar and don’t have much difference in between them. I believe in the first song part of the song version, the meter doesn’t change at all until it is recited for the second time. In the

  • Figurative Language In The Song 'Hallelujah'

    426 Words  | 1 Pages

    For many, poems are thought of as words on a page that rhyme or have different poetic elements. Most do not think of a song when they hear “poem.” Although many think this way, I’ve decided to show that songs are poems and one song in particular. Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen. I'll be explaining that because it has historical allusions, biblical allusions, figurative language, and imagery, it is a great example of a poem. The only difference here is that it has music.

    Poetry can be more than just words on a page. It is a short amount of writing that displays a story, image, or song using many interesting techniques. Some of those techniques are rhyming, repetition, meter, and alliteration. Poets can use these writing tools to make something amazing and insightful to the person reading it. Two poems that use these approaches well are “Echo”, by Christina Rosetti, and, “The Weary Blues”, by Langston Hughes. Each of these writers have their own style when using these concepts, and their differences help make each of their poems unique.

    The story that my group decided to read is “Pancakes” by Joan Bauer. The project option that I chose was the poem, and it was difficult to relate the story into a poem, partly because the protagonist, Jill, has a very barren personality. She knows what she likes and what she will not put up with, which is any type of disorder. She finds organizing CDs a acceptable activity to do with a boyfriend. She is bitter about losing her boyfriend to her organization chaos, but she refuses to change. She is very proud of her ability to have things under control, always having a plan. How could she possibly predict sixty-six environmentalist showing up without notice and offering a chalkboard as a suitable replacement for a ten page menu? How could she

  • Analysis Of I Am Offering This Poem

    1267 Words  | 3 Pages

    The 1990 poem “I Am Offering This Poem” by Jimmy Santiago Baca is themed around the life of a prisoner who has nothing else to offer except poetry. As one learns, more about the author’s background, the context of the poem becomes clearer. Examine this piece of information taken from the biography of Baca, “A Chicano poet, Baca served a ten-year sentence in an Arizona prison and his poetry grows out of his experience as a convict” (Baca). Baca’s experience as a prisoner reflects in his writing in that prisoners are often deprived of their rights and many of their possessions while serving a sentence. In his poem, “I Am Offering This Poem”, Baca speaks from the point of view of a prisoner having nothing to offer his love interest except the

  • Exploring Poetic Devices in Song Lyrics

    1006 Words  | 3 Pages

    Poetry is taught in classrooms and has become a very important aspect of literature throughout the years. Whereas, songs have not, if anything, they have developed a negative connotation stating that less (words and meaning) is more (popular in society). Some people argue that song lyrics essentially are less valuable compared to poetry. Poetry is considered literature due to the fact that it is written in verses, prose, and forms that reflect the mastery of literary techniques and mechanisms. The biases between the two works, poetry and song lyrics, does a disfavor and prejudice to both. In giving one work over another the title of a valuable piece of literature, the audience is missing out on the meaning and appreciation behind the work. The difference among poetry and song lyrics seem very juvenile. At first glimpse, poetry relies solely on words alone, their sounds, tones, meanings, and silence all depend upon the individual himself reading the poem. The words within the poem take place in silent context. Whereas, lyrics relay on the same forces; however, it is supported by music. The musical artists use a lot of deliberate musical information to help exaggerate certain words and meanings. The main difference is the conditions of the environment which affect the structure of the words. To gain the full comprehension and appreciation of both pieces of work, poetry and song lyrics, is to read them with the same respect in order to see the correlation between the two.

  • A Poetry Explication

    1329 Words  | 3 Pages

    "Poetry is the revelation of a feeling that the poet believes to be interior and personal [but] which the reader recognizes as his own." (Salvatore Quasimodo). There is something about the human spirit that causes us to rejoice in shared experience. We can connect on a deep level with our fellow man when we believe that somehow someone else understands us as they relate their own joys and hardships; and perhaps nowhere better is this relationship expressed than in that of the poet and his reader. For the current assignment I had the privilege (and challenge) of writing an imitation of William Shakespeare’s "Sonnet 87". This poem touched a place in my heart because I have actually given this sonnet to someone before as it then communicated my thoughts and feelings far better than I could. For this reason, Sonnet 87 was an easy choice for this project, although not quite so easy an undertaking as I endeavored to match Shakespeare’s structure and bring out his themes through similar word choice.

  • Ram Jam - Black Betty

    A man by the name of Charles Simic once said, “Poetry is an orphan of silence. The words never quite equal the experience behind them”(Quote Land). Poems have been written for thousands of years. When most people think of poetry, they either think of a sonnet, limerick, all the way down to a haiku. They also think that a poem is something that must be recited, but in reality a poem can also be sang as a song. Lately more and more songs that are being released have a story behind them, trying to express feelings of loneliness, death, or past experiences. One of the best examples would be rap. Rappers love to tell about “their” life in the city; when the times were rough because they were poor and all the violence going on. But rap isn’t the only type of music that can be interpreted as a poem.

    One instance of rhyme is the words air and hair(Llompart lines 31 and 33). There is also rhyme in the song's chorus, with words like written ( said writt-on), done, one, son(Metallica lines 9,10,11,and 14). Like that word, written, words can be said different, supported by Matthew Zapruder, “The ways the conditions of that environment affect the construction of the words (refrain, repetition, the ways information that can be communicated musically must be communicated in other ways in a poem, etc.)” (Zapruder 6) There is still more rhyme in the song though, with words like hand and land (Metallica lines 31 and 32). There are also words like sorrow and tomorrow in the poem( Llompart lines 37 and 38). One last example of rhyme is in the poem with the words feasting and coming( Llompart lines 5 and 11).

    Rap and poetry have been living in the roots of human civilizations. Controversy regarding the two genres has surfaced in the recent rise in popularity of rap music. Rappers seldom deny the title of a poet, while poets often deny the title of a rapper. Although the two genres are very similar, they contain distinctive elements. Because of many contrasting qualities, rap is unquestionably a discrete genre and cannot be mixed with poetry.

  • Poem Analysis: I Need To Get Away By Heather Hill

    One of the greatest reggae singers of all time Bob Marley has said “One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain”. Music can make you feel every emotion. It can make you feel happy then all of a sudden feel sad just by changing the beat. A song has the power to stay in your head forever, but poems are not capable of that power. I think that the song “fly away “ by Lenny Kravitz is more artistic than the poem “ I need to get away “ by Heather Hill because of purpose , end rhyme and tone.

  • Poetry Of Sound

    509 Words  | 2 Pages

    Poems usually begin with words or phrase which appeal more because of their sound than their meaning, and the movement and phrasing of a poem. Every poem has a texture of sound, which is at least as important as the meaning behind the poem. Rhythm, being the regular recurrence of sound, is at the heart of all natural phenomena: the beating of a heart, the lapping of waves against the shore, the croaking of frogs on a summer’s night, the whisper of wheat swaying in the wind. Rhythm and sound and arrangement –the formal properties of words—allow the poet to get beyond, or beneath the surface of a poem. Both of Charles Roberts poems "The Herring Weir" and "The Skater" emphasize poetic sound to express their themes.
