Not my thing

Poetry is not my thing
Give me a poem to read 
And I will swing 
It's a reading strategy I do not need
Well maybe in school
But I'm too cool
What's the point of snapping at the end
If it's not even a trend 
Why say and scream
If it's just a theme 
Just calm down 
And stop looking like a clown 
Because it's in the end 
It's pretend

How I love thee? & Fire and Ice poem comparison

"How do I love thee?" By Elizabeth Browning has a soothing feelings towards the poem. What makes this poem more graceful is the diction chosen for the poem, such as, "grace", and "praise" because these are mostly known as positive word. The poem also includes rhyme scheme, which makes the poem even more significant because the rhyming makes the poem have a rythim to the poem. Unlike "Fire and Ice" by Robert Frost, his poem has a more fierce tone to his because of the topic of his poem. The fact that his is about how the world will end makes his poem really foreshadowing. Also at the end of each line it incorporates the words fire or ice which creates a action feeling to the poem.
