Style: Point-by-point
Two points to develop: mood and theme
Romanticism
Poets-
Edgar Allan Poe

Title-
To My Mother
Love’s Secret
My interest in these poems:
My interest in the poem “To My Mother” was when he says “Can find, among their burning terms of love,” that shows the emotion and love he has for his mother who has passed “early” as he says. He explains that he sets his mother free out in Virginia.This poem is read as sentimental because he is using closure to his mother who is no longer with him and sent this poem with her to heaven.
My interest in the poem “Love Secrets” is the hidden message behind the obvious words. “Never seek to tell thy love” the way he speaks brings joy it evokes love and smiles . The author of the poem leaves the poem short but gives great detail. The details he leaves creates a thought in your mind like imagery.
I choose –
Theme
Mood
