A Dream Within A Dream
By Edgar Allan Poe
The first paragraph has a lot of rhyming. Its A, A, A, B, B, C, C, D, D, E, E.
“In a night, or in a day,” These are opposite. “Wrong and who” are alliteration.
“Of a surf-tormented shore,” has some imagery. Repetition with “Oh God”. In the poem they ask a lot of questions. All in all there is a lot of alliteration and rhyming. He repeats “while I weep” in the same sentence. It has good rhythm.
“Why do I love” You, Sir?
By Emily Dickinson
The poem is explaining why he loves her. Its interesting how some of the lines ends with “and, by, then” She says sunrise twice in the last paragraph. There's just a lot of rhyming and interesting word use. I liked reading the poem, but I didn't fully understand it
