POL My poem
My poem is "A Dream Within a Dream" by Edgar Allan Poe and its a great poem that I can connect to. The poem is about Edgar's theory that were all just living an dream or nightmare in which we have no control. He starts off by saying "take this kiss upon the brow, and in parting from you now, let me thus much avow, you are not wrong who deem that my days have been a dream." This poem also has great imagery. One example of imagery is when he says "I stand amid the roar, of a surf tormented shore, I hold within my hands the grains of the Golden Sand, how few yet how they creep". This is an imagery of the "golden sand" or time as it slowly slips away from him into the deep. Overall this poem is amazing and I will always remember it word for word.
