My favourite poem

My favourite poem is "Bright Star" by John Keats. Somehow, it's very vivid and touching - that's what I like about it. There are powerful words: 'unchangeable', 'eternal' and 'death', which makes you startled. I don't quite understand all of it, but that only makes the poem more interesting.

The poem is written in an admiring way, I think Keats is writing about his love for a certain woman, who's strong-willed and beautiful. He's talking about waters, shores, mountains and moors, the first words might be a way to describe the woman's lively personality. Perhaps mountains and moors are metaphors for naturalness.

If I was an exhibitor, I would use "Bright Star" as a text attached to a painting - preferably depicting a romance. Perhaps it would give life to the painting.

  1. Very good! Quite short, but packed with content. Excellent language. I have nothing to add. Well done!
