English Language Poems. . .

Love's Language By Ella Wheeler Wilcox - http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-s-language/

This poem describes the way love is portrayed using the English language and body language, and how someone who has fallen in love would behave. I think that this poem is about one person falling in love with another and eventually finding out that the other person loves them back. This poem starts each stanza with a rhetorical question asking how love speaks and then this question is answered throughout the rest of the stanza. The poem has five verses and it also uses several rhyming couplets (e.g... 'fire' and 'higher')


English Language By Linda Winchell - http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/english-language-2/

This poem explains how the English language is both perfect and imperfect with all of the ways language is graded with grammar spelling and nouns ect and how everyone makes mistakes and can still understand what each other are saying. This poem contains 11 stanzas and has rhyming couplets (e.g... 'told' and 'bold'). I like this poem as it shows how despite having an extremely complex language full of perfect words for everything we are still able to understand the mistakes we make and how we are able to understand what other people mean when they make grammatical errors.

My language themed poem:

Language is used all over the globe,
Used to love,
Used to hate,
Used for all of the above,

Language is written across the world,
Written to show you care,
Written to show emotion,
Written to show your there,

Language is spoken on every continent,
Spoken in grief,
Spoken in happiness,
Spoken to show relief,

Language is shown over Earth,
Shown through stance,
Shown through actions,
Shown through dance,

Language is interpreted by everyone,
Interpreted in art,
Interpreted in life,
Interpreted in death,

Language has many modes.
