Describes how Seamus Heaney is portrayed as a peoples poet, refer to his use of poetic techniques
...
I am in full
agreement that his poetry is simple and ordinary but at the same time his use of poetic techniques
create suspense and tension that gives more enjoyment to the reading of his work
...
It is in this poem that I
believe most evoked such drama to a typical event
...
These are the sounds of the
occurrences exhibited by the closed ‘door’
...
In my opinion I see a different side of
the craftsman by Heaney his work is depicted much more than the hitting steel against an ‘anvil’, but
however like an inspired skill in which you mould and shape with great delicacy to produce a
masterpiece
...
Take for example
the ordinary craftsman himself
...
We are
told he has ‘hairs’ in his nose and works in the ‘forge’ whereby ‘hoops’ and ‘rusting/axles’ are
scattered near his work bench
...
Similarly ‘Bogland’ is another of Heaney’s poems which gave me the same view
...
To Heaney the bog symbolises layers of remembrance of the Irish
conscience
...
I did further research of the poem and it came to me
...
This was not about fascinating on the bogs features but rather about exploring
downwards the evidence of history in the bog
...
As well as the nourishing description
of a ‘black’ bog; ‘the kind/butter/melting’ the praise depicted by Heaney conveys the goodness of
the bog in Ireland
...
I can say the same for the next poem ‘The Skunk’
...
How wrong was I, thinking that this poem was simply
about seeing a black and white skunk at the back of the veranda
...
Yet what engaged me more about this poem? It must have been
definitely the imagery leading to the background of the scene
...
The poet definitely captures the wonderful
Californian atmosphere
...
These delicate descriptive words allow me to
conjure an image of a paradoxical skunk to his wife
...
In conclusion Heaney is a man of talents, making poems with places and people
seem simple
...
Behind the naked eye there are deeper meanings and
statements he reveals through his use of imagery, metaphors, similes and sound effects
...
