Reflective Essay: Influence of Robert Frosts Fire and Ice on My Poem
Piano keys
I sit on the stool,
stare at the piano keys,
so many yet so little,
but all they remind me of
is the guns
and those screams
unwelcomed but ringing as I
press on the piano keys
and they pull me
beneath the depths of water,
am I supposed to see different
colours underwater?
Because all I remember
is light and darkness
merged into one,
they were never meant to be.
My poem conveys the physical assertive power the White race had over the Black race. Like Robert Frosts Fire and Ice, it reflects the intense aspects of humanity, when violence in either physical or emotional form is utilised. Robert Frost used fire and ice to symbolise the different extremities of human emotions; fire connotes heat, passion and anger, whereas ice connotes cold, and hate, and the imagery of emotions is created by connotations of fire, and ice . The use of enjambment especially in Lines 6-9 suggests the idea of inevitability, by reinforcing and hurrying the message of the poem: nothing gets in the way of extreme emotions. Similarly, the vocabulary used in his poem, perish, destruction, emphasises the great degree of negative power human emotions have. In my poem, the piano keys symbolise the Black and White race, so many yet so little (there are more white keys than black keys in a piano) in Line 3 expressing the magnitude of power the Whites had over the Blacks. Imagery is shown in pull me beneath the depths of water where the pulling water signifies the great power the Whites had. Light and darkness, connotes the two races and their differences. Lines 14-16, state how light and darkness are merged into one, enjambment no longer being used in the last line to emphasise the significance of the next statement, they were never meant to be, . This overall endorses the fact that even though Blacks Whites occupied the same world, they could never live harmoniously together.
Breaking that wall
Its gaze was fire, hot like burning suns,
that fiery passion smouldering with heat
and mounting pressure surging through its core,
it feels its wounds then slumping with defeat
from desperation coursing through its veins,
the beast within still raging through the walls,
the red pulsating, livid like the flames,
the anger screaming hate to end it all.
Bloody murder! They could never see
the truth the bitter truth concealed inside,
that tomb of secrets taken to the grave,
for hell burns over when youre forced to hide
Inside, too deep inside the cave of truth,
still throbbing from expulsion overload,
and the chilly choking chains of silence but
silence is broken, breaking the abode.
My poem conveys the power of emotions and how suppressing them or bottling feelings has consequences. Like Robert Frosts Mending Wall, it reflects the wall as a barrier that prevents interaction on either side. Robert Frost used the wall to symbolise the insecurities in a relationship; the neighbours pine orchard connoting his prickly nature, whereas the narrators apple orchard connoting his sweet nature. The wall in the poem prevented the narrators positiveness rubbing off on the neighbour. Frosts use of imagery of the wall and the materials used, in each hand, like an old-stone heavily armed, made out the wall to be like a weapon. The iambic pentameter used for most of Frosts poem follows a heartbeat rhythm which emphasises how serious the construction of the fence was for the neighbour who relied on the wall whereas the narrator found it to be a game. My poem is about a volcano, where cave of truth , represents the heart of the volcano, and expulsion overload is when too much lava has been expelled. The volcano itself symbolises the suppressed emotions (lava), ready to explode, and how the wall of silence preventing the emotions from being expressed will be broken. The poem incorporates iambic pentameter and a heartbeat rhythm to express the seriousness and severity of being forced to suppress emotions. The imagery in hot like burning suns, and the red pulsating, livid like the flames, appeals to the intense feelings of passion and anger, where the colour red and flames connote great anger and rage.
