Cheyenne Carrel and Juan Macias Period 1 10-26-10 Tone Project Tones of pain PEACE Be with me
in this zone of pain.
My poems was walking
through me.
The flute I broke,
in the river of silence.
Someone was whispering
to me in sleep.
Why this desire of awakening
in darkness,
when light was waiting
at the window?
Satish Verma http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/peace-255/ The dictions and the details present pain and a longing tone in this poem. Satish Verma writes that she is in pain and that she wants someone there, but is in pain and despair. The pain she holds and restrains, but it seems as everything goes by and misses her as written in, “My poems was walking through me.” There is her sense of pain when she wants to be awakened in darkness and not greeted by the sunlight awaiting her at the window. Tone of pleasure TAKE MY BREATH AWAY Take my breath away
Baby can you see
What you mean to me
Every time we meet
I find it hard to breathe,
All I want from you
Is you to love me to
So all I'm gna do
Is show my love for you,
Every time I see your face
O I can hear my heart starts to race
And I'm feeling it every day
Baby you take my breath away,
I remember our first date
O When I saw your face
I was lost for words
I didn't know what to say,
You took me for a dance
I knew that was my chance
I kissed you on your neck
And that's when I said,
Every time I see your face
O i can hear my heart starts to race
And I'm feeling it every day
Baby you take my breath away,
Yes your the one I need
Cus every time we meet
You knock me off my feet,
So baby can you see
Your the world to me
That's why when we meet
I find it hard to breathe,
Every time I see your face
O i can hear my heart starts to race
And I'm feeling it every day
Baby you take my breath away
Yes you take my breath away.
Jamie Wright http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/take-my-breath-away-10/ The diction and details project that she wants the second party to see how much she cares for them. She wants the second party to take into consideration and see how she feels without her spelling in out for them. She writes how much in love she is and wants the person that she loves to know how much with every one of her heart beats. “Every time I see your face/O I can hear my heart starts to race.” She loves this person and wants this love to flourish and become known. Tone of apathy APATHY my apathy towards you is earned
ask me why and I'll explain that you have not learned
that my love is fragile not to be broken
once it is it will be as if we have never spoken
but still you hurt me as if it's a game
and expecting my love to be the same
how dare you try to seek
something in a life you created bleak
chyna parker http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/apathy-14/ The diction and the details reflect a submission of passion. When she wrote, “ask me why and I’ll explain that you have not learned.” This shows that the person she loves needs to learn how much she must subdue her love for them, because she loves that person so much. That her love when subdued becomes fragile, but no easily or not likely to be broken or diminished. Tone of logic Logic(yesterday I heard a robin sing...) Yesterday I heard a robin sing
Telling of his plan to build a nest
In a willow tree.
I said, 'Silly bird, don't you know
Willows weep and you might drown
In her sorrows? '
He said, 'Silly girl, don't you know
A robin's song might brighten her tomorrows? '
Dorothy (Alves) Holmes http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/logic-yesterday-i-heard-a-robin-sing/ The diction and logic create a logical tone for the poem. They wrote that a willow weeps, but a robin’s song might brighten the tree. “’Silly bird, don’t you know/ Willows weep and you might drown/ in her sorrows?’/He said, ‘Silly girl, don’t you know/A robin’s song might brighten up her tomorrow?’” Creates the tone that even though the willow weeps the joy of a robin’s song may brighten up her days. Tone of timidity Timidity and Pride Why glamorize a shooting star
Stealing swiftly through the darkened night,
Fleet and silent as a craven thief
Streaking so to cheat the dawning light?
Flashing thunder booms in flaunting pride
To leave no doubt, with aplomb and flair,
The bolt harbors no timidity of the star,
Yet neither leaves sign of ever passing there.
Ron Kilgore http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/timidity-and-pride/ The diction emphasizes that this tone is of lacking pride and is timidity. They show that why should they try when there are other people more worthy of being the best. “Why glamorize a shooting star.” Meaning, why should they make it seem so glamorous; when it is just a shooting star? There is no self-importance and no confidence. Tone of animation Animation of Your Kiss Your kisses
Are flowing
Through whining pebbles
And widening like river.
While the small
Fishes are splashing
In the blood-and
There is a kingfisher
On my vein.
(In Tamil- Mazhaippen-Kavigar.Phazhani Bharathi)
anushmadhu P.Bharathi http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/animation-of-your-kiss/ This poems’ diction creates a tone of animation by using metaphors. They poet animates someone’s kisses by telling the sensation and touch of the kisses. How their kisses feel animated and filled with meaning. The word flowing means: “proceeding easily or smoothly” which animates, but describes the kiss. Tone of self-importance I'm the ruler Open the hells for me
For I will come to rule
Souls are mine for my delight
Hear the cries that are music to my ears.
Here remain the bones
From lost centuries I won’t remember
For I’m not the one to say why they are here
Hush those who ask, or kill them slow.
My name shall be called in the dark
My presence will come to you
A black mist, the rancid smell of sulfur
Here am I to please your darkest desire.
I rule the hell
I rule you
Bow to me if you want to live
Or for my amusement take you as my slave.
The one who died crossed has nothing on me
I have power and eternal wealth
Bow down you foolish humans
From hell, I’m the ruler.
... A poetess http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-m-the-ruler/ The diction and very detailed poem develops a self-important and selfish tone. The poet wrote how the “ruler” demands that the gates of hell to be open for them and that they should rule hell and over you, the reader. That for the ‘ruler’s” amusement you will be their slave. This tone shows that this “ruler” is a selfish, self-important, and cruel person. Neutral Tone Neutral Tones WE stood by a pond that winter day,
And the sun was white, as though chidden of God,
And a few leaves lay on the starving sod,
--They had fallen from an ash, and were gray.
Your eyes on me were as eyes that rove
Over tedious riddles solved years ago;
And some words played between us to and fro--
On which lost the more by our love.
The smile on your mouth was the deadest thing
Alive enough to have strength to die;
And a grin of bitterness swept thereby
Like an ominous bird a-wing....
Since then, keen lessons that love deceives,
And wrings with wrong, have shaped to me
Your face, and the God-curst sun, and a tree,
And a pond edged with grayish leaves.
Thomas Hardy http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/neutral-tones/ The poem’s details and diction provide a neutral tone of detachment. “Your smile was the deadest thing” created something that showed that the writer showed no interest in, but there it was. The people represented in the poem have a great detachment to this world and to live. The tone shows that the world that is presented in the poem is not worth living for, not even if you are with someone; that life is dull and short and that you might as well have the strength to die.
