The three authors I chose were Emily Dickinson (1830-1886), TS Eliot (1888-1965) and Robert Frost (1874-1963). I chose them because first of all they were all born in the eighteenth century and most of their writings dealt with death and dying. I don't think the elements that Emily Dickinson would be a good source to incorporate into my writings because with her writings I found them very difficult to understand, perhaps due to the timeline or the fact that she wrote in such a secret code with words. If we have some familiarity with these means, or formal elements of poetry, our understanding and enjoyment of poetry will increase greatly (Charters page 762). There were very few of his poems that I could understand or even enjoy reading, I felt. a sense of desolation, desperation, loneliness in most of the poems he wrote. In his poem “She is dead: she died like this. There was the use of rhyme with eyes (Charters page 764) when he used the word spied and ended the poem by saying "from the mortal side". Even in his poetry I am nobody! Who are you? It seems she also had low self-esteem claiming she was a nobody. Today, in the 20th century, if a person wrote words as such, he would probably be diagnosed with depression with suicidal ideology, especially because of the poems “I felt like a funeral in my brain, and there was a dead man in the house across the street ” all very dark and gloomy. The best Emily Dickinson poem for me would be the one "I never saw a moor" because I like the rhythm of the poem and I completely agree with the direction the poet is taking the readers and once again I can see the rhyme in the eyes ( Charters Page 764) with the words Paradise and reported within the poem. I actually really enjoy it... middle of paper... I'll get old and remember our youth, don't take it for granted. Furthermore, his poem "To Earthward" was a mixture of lyric poetry (Statutes page 811), ode (Statutes page 815), and alliteration (Statutes page 762). Examples of this blend would be the use of the words: moss, dusk, honeysuckle, knuckle, salt, guilt, love, clove, hand, sand, quite, and rough. Her writings were not as terrible and dark as Emily Dickinson's poems. The poem “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” was easy to read at a steady pace and there was no doubt what he was talking about. I believe if I had to choose any of the writers mentioned above and incorporate his unique form of writing into my own, I would choose Robert Frost for his direct approach, the tone he used, and the rhythmic way he put his words together to make it work for poetry and for the public.
