    I like the beat and the rhyme scheme in this one. It just got me involved in it bad. The imagery was great. There is some magic in the words, they sound so great.

  • on The Right Thing by Theodore Roethke, on February 29, 2004
    In this poem "The Right Thing" Theodore Roethke does not keep the traditional form for a villanele (Ex.4 #3). This is because in line 6 he changes the word "probe" to "delve" which is slight modification in the refrain. However line 12 should actually be line 6 or line 1 instead of line 3. Then in line 15 he compeletely change the refrain to "Takes to himself what mystery he can" except for the last word "can" that should be line 3 instead. And At the end, in lines 18 instead of using either line 1 or 6 he uses a comepletely different line. Hence loosing the whole traditional form.

    But as a poem, it is a great and enjoyable write. The poet involves the reader in the poem well.

  • on The Best is Good Enough by James Whitcomb Riley, on February 29, 2004
    The enjabments in the poem gives it a good flow, and a good voice. The pauses give the enhances of personal talk in the poem. For example in line 7-9
    "I take some things, or let 'em be--
    Good gold has always got the ring;
    The best is good enough for me."

    The enjabment after line 7 makes the reader feel like the poet was talking to them face to face. Giving more personal and conversational tone to line 8 and 9.
