Rip Rap by Gary Snyder

this poem remind me the red wheelbarrow a little with ending 'all change, in thoughts, As well as things.' he trying to let readers to think about the poem that he wrote. also his beginning of poem starts with an idea of how we will change our minds after we read his poem and trying to gather people attention which is good way to do i guess. 'Lay down these words. Before your mind like rocks.placed solid, by hands.'

Howl

The Howl is different style of a poems that we have seen so far. The begining of poem is very powerful it starts with 'I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness' The rest of the section is a detailed description of these people specifically, who they were and what they did. it also reminds me of the one of the documentary 'zeitgeist' that i watched. its like trying the awake the people. first asks the question 'who' than 'what' and he questions what have been destroyed.

The Day Lady Died

Honestly when i first read this poem it really didn't make any sense for me. i believe i would never understand until someone explain this to me. actually this poem is starts with a regular day opening and as i go further i began to confused but thank god i found some clues about what was happening.for example Bastille day. after i look at the words the new world writing, in Ghana and after all these i began to put puzzles next to each other than it meant something. however i still find this poem kind of hard because i wouldn't figure out these before we discuss in class.

Sex Without Love

actually this poem made me think about American and most of the guys idea about women. this poem tells us that without love sex is just a mechanical action that we should be aware of however once you involve with that there is no way out. because once you addicted with it you just cant stop yourself even you want to stop. it also talks about the how it feels after wards and it says that 'now you are truly trash' what else can be? you just did it again. you just put water to on a fire of love.

The RedWheelbarrow

From what i read about william carlos williams known as Imagist-influenced philosophy of “no ideas but in things" so his poem also represents this idea saying with it so much depends on i think he is trying to say that whatever we see we just might not to be see in other way and actually reality versus imagination on this poem. he explains the red wheelbarrow under rain and there is word 'glazed with the rain' and this sentence also makes the reader to think what he is trying to say. or is it just something else that he tries to mention? and the color red actually what does it symbolize?

The Fish By Elizabeth Bishop

We usually see the world around us how we want to see. However same of us see the world different way.For example, in the Fish poem if someone would show us a picture of fishing person we would say only there is a guy or women fishing however on Elizabeth's eyes actually we can imagine how a fish dies in our hands and how it feels. I think Elizabeth wrote very nice poem which includes many social messages such as everybody deserve to live in this world.
