“The Tyger” By William Blake Review

The speaker directly addresses a tiger, imagining its bright flashes of color in the dark night-time forest. The speaker asks which immortal being could possibly have created the tiger’s fearsome beauty. The speaker wonders in which far-off depths or skies the tiger’s fiery eyes were made.

This one was pretty okay poem but still it was far from the Edgar Allan Poe and H.P Lovecraft level. 

The plot in this poem was okay but I wasn’t the biggest fan of the concept, so many that’s why I only gave it 3 star. 

This poem is the generic poem everyone thinks about when they think about a poem. Because it has archaic language. It has a lot of religious imagery and it has the very strict rhyming schemes.

I give this poem 3 / 5

“Jabberwocky” By Lewis Carroll Review

The poem follows a young boy who is warned to beware a creature called the Jabberwock. The boy ignores the warning and goes looking for the Jabberwock. When he finds the creature, he battles it and returns home victorious. His father greets him with praises.

So this one really surprised me because of how good it actually was. I didn’t have any expectations for this one and maybe that’s why I liked it so much.

The writing style in this one was okay, but nothing too much to talk about. Because if you compare the writing stye to other poems like Edgar Allan Poe’s poems then the level of writing style wasn’t so great.

The plot here was pretty good but nothing too extraordinary. The plot in this poem had the potential to get to full score but it didn’t use it. Which is sad, because it was really close to get the full score. 

I give this poem 4 / 5

“To a Mouse” By Robert Burns Review

To A Mouse depicts Burns’ remorse at having destroyed the nest of a tiny field mouse with his plough. He apologises to the mouse for his mishap, for the general tyranny of man in nature and reflects mournfully on the role of fate in the life of every creature, including himself.

The writing style in this poem was kind of decent but still not much to talk about because it wasn’t that great when you look as a whole.

The plot here was okay for the most part but it had some up turns and down turns. But for sure it had the potential to be better if it was written by Edgar Allan Poe or H.P Lovecraft. Or at least if it had a creepy or scary part to it.

Overall this poem is a little silly poem which in the end doesn’t make sense in the end. 

I give this poem 3 / 5

“Love Is Not All, Veertien Sonetten” By Edna St. Vincent Millay Review

So we are talking about another poem which I had hard time connecting with. 

I don’t know about you but I feel like since late last year and until now I got very picky with books. And almost everything I read since then doesn’t get the rating higher than 2 stars. But there were very few books which got a rating higher than 2 stars. 

The writing style in this one was pretty poor if you ask me on this one. But once again let me mention that I’m not into poems so I don’t know if you can comment on writing styles when it comes to poems. 

The story was pretty okay but I had hard time connecting with it as I mentioned above. 

It was my first poem by this author, so I don’t know if she does a better work on the other poems she has or not. So I can’t compare this one to some of her other work.

I give this poem 1 / 5

“Parsley” By Rita Dove Review

Based around the true story of a mass killing that occurred in 1937 in the Dominican Republic. Rafael Trujillo, referred to as “El General” in the text, was the military dictator of the country. He ordered everyone put to death who could not pronounce the word “parsley”.

Overall its was a good poem but as you may expect from my low rating it didn’t go so well with me.

I had hard time connecting with the story in this poem, so as you might expect if I can’t connect with the story not the characters I just can’t give a good rating to the poem or the book.

The writing style was pretty average, the writing style which you can see in this poem is pretty much like every other average poem. So the writing style doesn’t have a lot to talk about here. 

Im also not that into poems so I can’t talk a lot about everything people talk about when it comes to poems. 

I give this poem 1 / 5

“Silence” By Edgar Allan Poe Review

This poem portrays how humans can feel about silence; how it both brings people joy and causes them sorrow.

I really had high expectations for this one but it didn’t live up to my exceptions which is sad because I really wanted to like this one.

I either love Edgar Allan Poe’s work or hate and there is nothing in between these two. 

This poem was easy and a quick read but still there were a lots of things missing in this one at least for me.

I didn’t bother even to remember this poem because it was so bad and nothing more than that. It was so boring and uninteresting that I don’t even have words for it.

I give this poem 1 / 5

“An Enigma” By Edgar Allan Poe Review

To find her name, use the first letter of the first line, the second letter of the second line, the third letter of the third line, and so on.

This poem had the potential to get the full score but Edgar Allan Poe didn’t use that potential for whatever reason.

The plot itself was super interesting but it could have been much better if only Edgar Allan Poe had put some more work into this one. 

The writing style was amazing in this one. I shouted Edgar Allan Poe vibe which I truly loved in this one.

I give this poem 5 / 5

“Elizabeth” By Edgar Allan Poe Review

It was written for Edgar Allan Poe’s Baltimore cousin, Elizabeth Rebecca Herring.

I gotta say that it pissed me off because it is full of expiation from Edgar Allan Poe about the topic of why he had written it the way he did.

The writing style in this one was good but quit not on the level with Edgar Allan Poe. Which really disappointed me because I had sort of high expectations for this one. 

This poem doesn’t have neither the Edgar Allan Poe vibe to it because I really missed in this because the plot to this one was really speaking that it was written by Edgar Allan Poe.

I give this poem 2/ 5

“One for the Road” By Stephen King Review

The main part of the story is set a couple of years after the events of “Salem’s Lot”.

So this little short story takes place after the event in Salem’s lot which as you might know is one of my least favourite books from Stephen King.

This short story didn’t quit feel like  something written by Stephen King, it rather felt like something written by some who tried to impersonate Stephen King. 

The writing style was kind of okay. It wasn’t good nor bad. But the writing style has nothing much to talk about. 

I give this short story 3 / 5

“The Road Not Taken” By Robert Frost Review

The plot of this poem is about is often impossible to see where a life-altering decision will lead. 

This poem I’ve read it quit long ago but I sort of forgot to review it so here it comes now.

As you might know I’m not the biggest fan of the poetry and every time I’m to review a poem I don’t know what to say for whatever reason. 

The plot it this poem is okay but nothing to much to talk about because after all it is just a poem. 

The writing style in this poem was the generic writing style which you will see in every poem which exist.

I give this poem 3 / 5
