Answer 2

i don't be attentive to which Anthology you're utilising, so i won't have the capacity to offer you specific poems to choose for. in spite of if, i will clarify the way you ought to respond to this question. Write your essay approximately ONE subject, even nevertheless there are 2 poems. The subject ought to pertain to them the two. So if there are 2 poems approximately love, you ought to choose for those and then write approximately how they selection in what they are asserting approximately love. If there are 2 poems that hire a particular metaphor - "life is almost a boat," as an occasion - study how they use the only metaphor to talk approximately 2 quite a few issues. or perhaps 2 poems have been written by ability of the comparable poet or on the comparable difficulty (2 poems approximately worldwide conflict I, or 2 poems approximately loss of life, or 2 non secular poems, or 2 poems correct to the tip of the worldwide, or 2 poems approximately horses... you get the belief). thus, your one thought to your essay must be approximately how those poems are superficially the comparable ("they're the two approximately horses") yet actual very distinctive ("the 1st one is approximately how horses are info for a sturdy and chuffed God by way of fact horses are beautiful, however the 2d is approximately how the horsemen of the apocalypse actual teach us God's vengeance and anger"). Then learn each and each poem in turn, exhibiting the way it pertains to and makes use of the only shared subject.

A straightforward set of examples comes from the opening of Alfred Noyes' famous poem 'The Highwayman' using metaphors to describe wind, moon and road.

"The wind was a torrent of darkness upon the gusty trees,
The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas,
The road was a ribbon of moonlight looping the purple moor,
And the highwayman came riding--
Riding--riding--
The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn door. "

For a more famous author you could try the opening of Sir Walter Raleigh's 'The Pilgrimage', a metaphor in each of the first five lines...

"Give me my scallop-shell of quiet,
My staff of faith to walk upon,
My scrip of joy, immortal diet,
My bottle of salvation,
My gown of glory, hope's true gage;
And thus I'll take my pilgrimage."

A more contemporary example is the opening of Poet Lauretate Andrew Motion's "On The Record" celebration of Prince William's 21st birthday. The second stanza packs 3 (maybe 4) metaphors for the 21st birthday ...

On The Record

"Better stand back
Here's an age attack,
But the second in line
Is dealing with it fine.

It's a threshold, a gateway,
A landmark birthday;
It's a turning of the page,
A coming of age."
