"Heard" and "bird" and "Extremity" and "me" follow the ABBB rhyme scheme in the poem

Since in the beginning she references the hosts girlfriend, I assume that the host is gay. I think it is interesting how a lot of the poems we have been reading a lot of same sex relationships have been presented. I wonder if this has anything to do with the authors background?

Both "Grief Calls us to the Things of This World" and "Love Calls us to the Things of This World" use balance however in "Things" Alexie uses unbalance.

Both "Grief Calls us to the Things of This World" and "Love Calls us to the Things of This World" used blessed however in this poem a stress is added

Both "Grief Calls us to the Things of This World" and "Love Calls us to the Things of This World" use the soul

Both "Grief Calls us to the Things of This World" and "Love Calls us to the Things of This World" talk about angels and in "Grief" it is used multiple times

Both "Grief Calls us to the Things of This World" and "Love Calls us to the Things of This World" use the word astounded

Both "Grief Calls us to the Things of This World" and "Love Calls us to the Things of This World" start with "the eyes open to a"

I think it is interesting how Owen uses the thick green light in his poem. We saw this light in Gatsby and it mainly symbolized what Gatsby could never have- Daisy. So I wonder if the green light symbolizes something about war here.

I find it interesting how Marvell talks about how the body can deal and overcome physical pain however, emotional pain is much more severe and there is not some type of medicine you can take to "cure" it. Emotional pain is something that has to be fixed over time.

I really enjoy the alliteration in this poem- it flows very well and has a musical tone to it

What is the effect of the repeated line in this poem?

Interesting how the poem doesn't contain any breaks or any rhyme scheme..

Singing= hope

This is an example of personification. Angelou gives the bird human-like abilities.

At first I thought this poem was going to be about pie but then as I read along, I realized obviously I was wrong. So I went ahead and looked up what the word pied meant and it means something that has more than one color. I think this is an interesting word choice by Hopkins.

Writing the title in the first line of the poem adds emphasis to the imagery of the spider

I think it's interesting how the tone of the sonnet changes here... The whole time Shakespeare talks in a positive tone about how the young man needs to have a child and then suddenly he switches to a more negative tone and talks about how the young man can be egotistical and ruin his own life (making a tomb of selfishness and not having a child carry on that beauty).
