This week’s poem is, “She walks in Beauty” by Lord Byron.  This poem caught my eye because it reminded me of one of the poems we analyzed in class.  It is very classic and plain.  The voice is that of a lord and seems to be very proper.  This first thing I noticed was that it was written with a feminine rhyme scheme and each stanza included six lines.  This is actually the first poem I have analyzed that contained six lines and I really liked the organization of this poem.  It was neat to see how the length and arrangement affects how the poem is understood.  I feel as though each stanza described a different aspect of the woman and that kept my attention.  After each line, there was a comma.  I thought this was a little bit different because I didn’t necessarily feel like a pause was needed after every line. So I had to wonder why the author chose to organize the punctuation in that way.  I loved this poem because it is very romantic and you can really picture this eighteenth century woman and man madly in love.  This poem contained a lot of unusual description and seemed as thought it was written more as a personal letter to someone.  The last thing I wanted to analyze about this poem was the title.  “She walks in Beauty” sounds almost like the beginning line of the actual poem.  I know that a lot of these poems didn’t really have actual titles back then, so people just took the first line of the poem and stuck it in as the title.  I wonder if this poem was like that, but I’m not sure.  It really catches a person’s eye, and makes it seem so interesting.  I love the zest in the poem and the personality.  This was a really neat choice for this week.
