“Miracles” is a poem that stresses that everything is in life is a miracle. From A cubic inch of space to animals feeding in the field are miracles. Every second in life is a miracle and some people don’t understand that.
2. The poet is addressing the world of what miracles are to him. It begins with a rhetorical question of,” Who makes much of a miracle?” The author shares his ideas of what miracles are after he says,” I know of nothing but miracles.” I know it is in the author's point of view because of the use of the word “I.” For example,” Or whether I go among those I like best, and that like me best.”
3. A. The appearance of this poem is in long lines with the first stanza being the biggest, the second one smaller, and last one smallest. …show more content…
For example, “Every square yard of the surface of the earth is spread with the same.” The second stanza also uses alliteration when saying,” The fishes that swim--the rocks,--the motion of the waves--the ships.” Tense Walt Whitman uses a combination of past, present and future tense in the poem.”Whether I walk the streets of Manhattan, Or look at strangers opposite me riding in the car, Or sit at the table at dinner with my mother,” are all examples of the use of future tense in the poem. “To me, every hour of the light and dark is a miracle” is an example of present tense. An example of past tense in the poem is, Or the dead carried to burial.” Rhythm and Rhyme I feel the poem can be heard and read and many different ways. Some people may read it in a happy mood making the poem sound different than a person reading it in a glum mood. If you read it in a happy mood the poem may sound light and bouncy. However, I read it in a sad mood making the poem have a slow rhythm. Reading the poem in a sad mood made the poem sound deep, meaningful, and intense. The second and third verse sounded a little light because of the short lines, but overall this poem was slow. In the first stanza, there is a repetition of the word “or.” This allows the miracles he describing to be read in a list like way. There was no rhyme scheme which the poem be told
