Love Song

I thought of it as a positive because he was almost escaping time. B fine so hes erect equal work outing around everything in this moment so time doesnt exist anymore A Yes B So when he says Let fall upon the its back the soot falls from chimneys. he almost personifying their sleep. Okay because I contour of saw it as him reflecting on his entire animation and how there will be time to do all these things that I want to do but in the end is it worth it? And when he says permit us go then you and l. Maybe hes talking about the afterlife and saying what is the meaning of all of this until you get there. They also talk about Michelangelo, peradventure because hes dead but almost amortized. A He said Do I dare often and how should I should I presume I dont manage perhaps thats Just the uncertainty if It all and deal the things like he said let us go and take these risks but he questioned it. Just moments we overlook or miss out on because we dont know how to appreciate.Then he talked about like In line 40 and on my hair ontogeny thin my arms are thin do I disturb the universe? do I question time do I go out even though nature Is taking Its course B And he says indeed there will be time to wonder do I dare like there will be time to think about the things that you would have done and maybe he regrets non doing some of them. Like he says l have measured my life with coffee spoons and he know the voices and has kind of been In the background.You know coffee spoons Is kind of deadening A Yea kind of living autonomously, Just like day by day doing the same thing and then think maybe this moment Is something different or special or he has this revelation that maybe I should take a risk and I compute In that moment he thinks this Is how Im living my life and kind of reflects B He repeats the question would It have been worthwhile to do al these things and says no I am not prince hamlet nor was I meant to b and he says Im more Like a fool and fool and so meone who advises the prince and I dont know what do you think that means A He also mentions Like a lot of characters really exalted people and hes sayingB Kind of that he wont be remembered A Exactly Like talking of Michelangelo, and Lazarus and a prophet, Prince Hamlet B Yea and hes not prince hamlet A Hes not anything special I guess or he wants to be B And so how does this reflect on love then hes saying would I have been worthwhile o iron this universe Into ball A It think maybe In this moment he this thinks to himself what If I had lived my life Like this all the time and what If I had interpreted risks I could have know this sense more. If were looking at It Like love or even If It Is the end of his life and In the afterlife hes opinion I could have done so much more Like Im not this person but I could have been and Instead I was the ally thats Just the uncertainty if it all and like the things like he said let us go and take we dont know how to think. Then he talked abou t like in line 40 and on my hair o out even though nature is taking its course B And he says indeed there will be measured my life with coffee spoons and he know the voices and has kind of been in the background.You know coffee spoons is kind of tedious A Yea kind of living moment is something different or special or he has this revelation that maybe I should take a risk and I guess in that moment he thinks this is how Im living my life and kind of reflects B He repeats the question would it have been worthwhile to do says Im more like a fool and fool and someone who advises the prince and I dont now what do you think that means A He also mentions like a lot of characters really A Exactly like talking of Michelangelo, and Lazarus and a prophet, Prince Hamlet B to squeeze this universe into ball A It think maybe in this moment he this thinks to himself what if I had lived my life like this all the time and what if I had taken risks I could have know this feeling more. If were looking at it like love or even if it is the end of his life and in the afterlife hes thinking I could have done so much more like Im not this person but I could have been and instead I was the assistantLove SongThe verse I chose to imitate and use to get my pastiche was Joseph Brodskys Love Song. The poem is Brodskys unusual ode to the woman he loves, telling her all the things that he would do for her if he could. These are things that he would do to show her how much he loves her, how far he would to take care of her, and how attracted he is to her. I chose this poem because I felt that it was an interesting combination of humor and subtle sexual innuendo intertwined with classical love poem emotion.I also chose this poem because the structure of it and the quantify of the words were interesting and I wanted to challenge myself to recreate this structure with lines and thoughts of my own. Within Brodskys poem there are some particular elements that I intentionally tried to recreate, while there are early(a)s that I changed for my own. I tried to stay within the same meter with my poem as Brodsky did in his. I did this primarily because I enjoyed the way that the meter make his poem so easily readable and made the poem flow better.Brodsky did this by development words and lines with the same number of syllables, and I tried to recreate this element for the same effect. I also chose to utilize the element of rhyming every other line so that every two lines complete one sentence and one sentiment for the poems reader. Again, I felt that this technique made the poem flow well and made it more interesting. I began my creative process to create my pastiche of Brodskys poem by reading it some(prenominal) times.I did this to get an accurate understanding of the places in the poem where he inserted humor or innuendo in the lines. I felt that it was important to evenly aloofness out these occurrences as Brodsky did so my poem didnt come off too humorous and seem like a joke or a less than heartfelt expression. I also noted the individual components that Brodsky said he would be willing to be in his poem and tried to take up these. In some lines he refers to being a particular occupation, but in others he refers to himself as hypothetically being an inanimate object.I tried to delineate this same structure because I felt it lent to the imagination of the poem and the genuine expression of love. The biggest challenge for me when creating my pastiche was to rhyme every other line. I find it difficult to pull through poetry that rhymes but I wanted to deem this element from Brodskys poem. I dealt with this challenge by trying to keep the first word, which is the word for which I would need to find an accompanying rhyme, simple and easy to rhyme.This meant rewriting some of the lines to make them end with an easy but assignment word, but it also helped me to make the poem flow better. I think I was able to rhyme the alternating lines while stil l incorporating meaningful metaphors in my poem. The other challenge I encountered was trying to implement Brodskys use of sexual innuendo without making the poem sexual. I tried to accomplish this by victimisation metaphors that hinted at sexual or physical attraction without being too overt, but I honestly found it difficult to imitate Brodskys sly subtlety.Overall, I think that the resulting pastiche that I created is a good mimicry of Brodskys poem without mirroring it exactly. While I followed his formula for constructing the poem, I use my own metaphors which give it my own perspective. I think I did a good job of retaining the structure and flow of Brodskys poem, which was difficult since I was using my own words and having to rhyme every other line like he did. In creating this pastiche I was reminded of how much work goes into writing what seems like a simple poem.Its easy to look at Brodskys poem, which is only sixteen lines of simple language, and decide that it must be easy to write something like it. But in reality, the structure, language and rhyme scheme made it more difficult than originally imagined. It took a lot of creative effort to create something individual while imitating the elements of the original poem that I liked or wanted to incorporate, but I think the resulting pastiche is a quality imitation of Brodskys display of poetic talent.
