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? '

A robin's song might brighten her tomorrows? This poem is about a girl watching a bird build a nest and she starts to talk to the bird about where to put the nest. The word sorrow means the expression of grief, sadness, disappointment, or the like Tones of pleasure
Peaceful, satisfied, contented, happy, cheerful, joyful, playful, jubilant, euphoric, elated, intimate, seductive, affectionate By Peter Stavropoulos Her hand is as soft as my touch
Her lips are as red as my heart
Nothing can compare as much
Pleasure for pleasure will surely start
Moments of madness end with Love
Kindness and compassion know not hypocrisy
In my mind's eye I see the Lord above
Pleasure for pleasure knows not jealousy
Solitude is made perfect together
Silence in each other's arms is sure
Escape from this world is a wish we share
Fantasy made real in pleasure for pleasure

This poem is about love and how he loves a girl. The word hypocrisy means a pretense of having a virtuous character, moral or religious beliefs or principles, etc., that one does not really possess. Tones of pain

this way--the stone lets me go.
I turn that way--I'm inside
the Vietnam Veterans Memorial
again, depending on the light
to make a difference.
I go down the 58,022 names,
half-expecting to find
my own in letters like smoke.
I touch the name Andrew Johnson;
I see the booby trap's white flash.
Names shimmer on a woman's blouse
but when she walks away
the names stay on the wall. This poem is about the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and how sad it is. It is sad because there is a wall with a name of people who died in the war. The word shimmer is to appear to quiver or vibrate in faint light or while reflecting heat waves. Tones of passion
Hysterical, impulsive, desperate, frantic, serious, enraged, angry, jealous, outraged, irate, effusive, urgent, sentimental, restrained, James B. Earley ...Alone.........I sit....
By...the fishing hole
Didn't bring....don't need
...No.....fishing pole
Just want...to catch
A breath......of air
......And reconcile...
Distraught....despair
......For in my slumber...
Though....wide.....awake
......Passion's.....pride...
Fueled............my mistake
...And now...so alone...am I...
By.....the fishing hole
Didn't bring.....don't need
...No.........fishing pole
This poem is about the satisfaction of this man by a fishing hole who is fine being by himself. The word reconcile means to bring into agreement or harmony; make compatible or consistent: to reconcile differing statements; to reconcile accounts. Tones of comedy
Satiric, amused, mocking, humorous, sarcastic, sardonic, ironic, bantering, mock-heroic, silly, joking, whimsical, dreamy, fanciful
O Anna Niemus How is it that their love of making
people laugh and their abstention from eating
animals.. are related
Is it a sensitivity to suffering..
and a desire to turn pain into laughter This poem is about comedians and what there passion is with making people laugh. The word abstention means an act or instance of abstaining. Tones of animation Lively, eager, excited, energetic, passionate, hopeful, ecstatic Randy Johnson I was put in suspended animation in 1953.
After fifty some years, they revived me.
I've woken to a world that is different and strange.
It really shocked me when I saw how much the world has changed.
Some things are better but some things are vile.
I'm shocked by these commercials about girls going wild.
Schools are no longer segregated and that's great.
But people are dying of aids and that's something I hate.
Some of the changes makes me proud but others make me hurl.
It's not easy to adjust to this strange new world.
This poem is about aids and how he was revived and was saved. The word revived means to activate, set in motion, or take up again. Tones of apathy
Dull, colorless, indifferent, resigned, defeated, helpless, hopeless, dry, monotonous, Josh Alfred The surface is silent/
But the fishes are playful/
Like thoughts beneath/
The apathy I appear to keep.
The sky is toned blue and still/
But the universe is making stars beyond/
Like my thoughts bursting out of imagination/
Which fiddle with folly beneath the glaze of my peering.
Settled rocks on earth bound hills/
Only move when the earth quakes/
Like my many thoughts that rumble/
When wonder shakes them alive.
This poem is about the helplessness of the earth and how beautiful it is and how dark It is. The word rumbleto make a deep, heavy, somewhat muffled, continuous sound, as thunder. Neutral Tones Impartial, detached, objective, clinical, factual, informative Thomas Hardy 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.
This poem is about life and death. There are positives and negatives about both subjects. The word chiddento express disapproval of; scold; reproach.
