Wed, 31 May 2023
Here are the Top 10 poetries that you should know about:
1. William Wordsworth’s Daffodils:
This is one of Wordsworth's most romantic works ever, written in creative language and posture, showcasing a common day, simple yet lovely experience by the poet conveying the worlds of nature he encountered at the time.
2. Robert Frost’s The Road Not Taken:
This one is quite relatable!! An entire metaphor. This one obviously sticks out and links with many people since it symbolises the notion that our decisions in life determine whether we succeed or fail.
3. T. S. Eliot’s The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock :
This one is big!!! A massive, dramatic monologue that conveys the poet's view of several times in time in a single repaired frame. The style is distinctively expressive and detailed. Emotions well expressed!!
4. Sarojini Naidu ‘s Palanquin Bearers:
This one by our respected and recognised Sarojini Naidu ji is a lovely 'drawing' of an Indian ceremony in which men carry the bride-to-be in a customised 'palki'. This really strikes the correct emotional chord. Although the ritual mentioned is Indian, this work has received acclaim from audiences all around the world, placing Naidu ji on the map.
5. Ezra Pound’s In a station of the metro:
Ezra Pound, a pioneer in Modern American literature, has independently crafted the culture of Modernist Literature by employing the parataxis (where word clauses and phrases are placed at random without any cohesion or linearity) as well as developing unique forms of speech and the grammar jargon. This poem is a great example of micro poetry.
6. Rudyard Kipling’s If… :
This one was written in 1895 by the renowned Nobel Laureate Rudyard Kipling in an additional advising manner. It provides readers with an inspirational and morale-boosting message to follow amazing life virtues and exemplary life values. It develops strength, fortitude, and many other aspects of exceptional manhood.
7. John Donne’s Death, Be Not Proud:
This sonnet is a lengthy metaphor. The author looked into the mystics surrounding Death and attempted to diminish its abilities in this one. The Biblical line "The last enemy to be destroyed is Death" was most likely an influence. A fantastic book that is somewhat realistic in these hard times.
8. Robert Frost’s Stopping by woods on a snowy evening:
This is one of Frost's most beautiful pieces, showing our actual route and hierarchy in life. Every object in this sculpture is symbolic, important, and holds a profound meaning. The harness bells, for example, represent the voice of our inner morality, repeatedly reminding us that we have a long way to go and a lot to do in life before we completely rest, aka die quietly.
9. William Shakespeare’s All the Wold’s a Stage:
To be honest, it's an amazing classic. With the images it conjures through its deeply knit chains of descriptive, narrative words, this one communicates volumes.
There is nothing like to this one. It moves at breakneck pace, waiting for the inevitable conclusion. By the Master Craftsman and the God of Poetry.
10. Rupi Kaur’s Commitment:
The Instagram model, who has a large fan base not only on Instagram but also elsewhere. Her poetry are elegantly written from the heart and connect with her readers in a powerful way!!! 'Commitment' is one of her captivating creations from the sun and her flowers. This one is about a soul mate's sincere dedication to the other on the verge of death. Yes, indeed!!!
