Poem Set 2

Arabic Coffee
  • White vs. Black
    • Coffee
  • Comparison of everday objects to deeper meanings
  • “Luck lives” “gather, grounds”
    • Lots of hard consonants
  • 6 lines, 1 sentence
  • “Two times. No sugar in his pot” stands out
  • Very long stanza
  • Emotions and feelings portrayed like people
  • Does not seem organized with a usual flow, it breaks at weird places
  • There is this and there is more
    • She has taken a daily occurance and made more out of it

My Grandmother in the Stars

  • “It is possible we will not meet again” is very forward
    • “On earth” softens” it
  • 4 lines, 2 sentences
  • “On earth” “with dust” come at the same place in different lines
    • “To open” as well
  • 7 lines, 3 sentences
  • I bow to your rugged feat
    • Relating it back to grandmother
  • Uses commas instead of line breaks
    • S2L2
  • 9 lines, 3 sentences
  • Never again
    • Much shorter line
    • In itialics
    • Like they will never meet again?
