NOT ALL POEMS SING

 By:merlei arluna

Analysis

First of all, for my own analysis about the poem of “NOT ALL POEMS SING” is about expression and feelings of a person. Is not easy to make a poem without any experiences and knowledge about the things in this world. Sometimes it became a true story based on the author.

This poem is a very interesting to all of us, it because our life is full of darkness and light. We are seeking light through our hopes and dreams, maybe our happiness, our goal and achievements in life. We faced darkness, because we are living this sinful world. 

The poem has a free verse structure, written in a narrative form. And the figures of speech used were a mix of simile and metaphor.

I didn’t notice any character if I exclude the person the narrator referred to as “you”.

"Hopes begins in the dark,the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing,the dawn will come "

Side Questions:

How do the author look at love and life?

For me, we need to Love our Life by making an action. We need to accept of what we are. Life is precious, handle with prayer. Love is the only world that nobody can’t give a true meaning. Because it seen in the action by doing heartedly.  

What symbols can you find in the poem, identify and explain? 

I found the symbol of our life in this world. As a human being, we are great and privileged to do something for our satisfaction and our goal in life. We forgot to thank God for everyday in our life, because he is the only source of everything .
