ATMOSPHERE

 

The atmosphere of a poem can be best described as the emotions or feelings that it evokes. It can be created by using words and phrases that are suggestive of a particular mood or feeling. This can be done by employing figurative language, such as similes, metaphors, allusions, diction, images, and symbols. By using these devices, the author can create a more vivid and descriptive poem that will help to engage the reader -

make them feel something, whether it is happiness, sadness, anger, or fear.

In poetry, the use of figurative language is often even more exaggerated to produce a stronger emotional response from the reader. This is often done by playing with sound, rhythm, and structure. When used effectively, a poetic atmosphere can create a sense of wonder.

Some poems can create a dark and eerie atmosphere, while others a bright and cheerful one. It all depends on the poet's intentions and what they hope to achieve with their work.

 

How does the atmosphere of a poem make you feel? Does it make you feel happy, sad, scared, or something else? In this essay, I will be discussing the atmosphere of the poem "Annabel Lee" by Edgar Allan Poe. 

The atmosphere of this poem is dark and depressing. It makes you feel scared and sad. The use of words such as "dead", "frozen", "night", and "grave" create a spooky and foreboding feeling. The poem is about love that was cut short by death, and it's clear that the speaker is still grieving for the departed beloved.

Poetry is often associated with a certain tone, attitude, and mood. In order to create poetry that effectively communicates these ideas, it is important to understand what they are and how they are used. Tone is the author's attitude towards the subject of the poem. It can be conveyed through the words used, the images invoked, and the overall feeling of the poem. Attitude is the author's feelings about the subject of the poem. Mood is the atmosphere or emotional tone of the poem.

All of these elements work together to create a unified effect. The tone, attitude, and mood of a poem should be consistent with each other.. This means that the tone, attitude, and mood should be appropriate for the content of the poem. 

The tone, attitude and mood of a poem are conveyed through the words the poet chooses (diction). They set the tone for the poem and help to create the atmosphere. The tone can be sad, happy, angry, peaceful, etc. The attitude can be positive or negative, and the mood can be light or dark.

 Some poets choose words carefully in order to create a certain tone, attitude or mood. Others may not be as deliberate in their choices, but their words will still create a certain feeling. It's important for poets to be aware of the effects their words have on readers.

The atmosphere of this poem is dark and depressing. It makes you feel scared and sad. The use of words such as "dead", "frozen", "night", and "grave" create a spooky and foreboding feeling. The poem is about love that was cut short by death, and it's clear that the speaker is still grieving for the departed beloved.

How to Write a Poem

A poem is a type of literature that uses language to convey an emotion or idea. It is a way to express one's thoughts and feelings in a creative and often lyrical way.

Form or Structure.

Poetry is one of the oldest and most versatile forms of literature. It is often seen as a free form of writing where the writer can let their emotions and thoughts roam free.  It can be used to tell stories, convey emotions, make a statement, or simply entertain. While this may be true to some extent, poetry still has a form and structure that the writer must adhere to. To make your poetry effective, it's important to understand the form and structure of poetry. The most basic unit of poetry is the line. A line can be as short as one word or as long as an entire line of a page. Most poems are composed of multiple lines, which are usually grouped into stanzas. A stanza is a unit of poetry that typically contains multiple lines and is self-contained.
