Paraphrasing Poetry

Paraphrasing Poetry
My Love is like a red, red rose
By: Robert Burns
A man who falling in love with a girl. His feelings are compared to a flower that newly sprung. So, his feelings are fresh. His feeling also compared to a melody, which can replayed and explore over and over. He talk that the girl is pretty, he loving her so deep.  He will love the girl until the seas gang dry, the rock melted with the sun and the sands shall run. He will come again to meet the girl although the distance is so far.

I carry your heart
By: e.e cummings
It can mean remembering a lost lover or the heart life gave him. He say thank you to life, since it gave him ability to do things, he would be lost without it.
He also uses the word ‘my darling’ which implies important like ‘my dear’. Events, and fear a feeling of anxiety this could mean he is not afraid of death because after all that’s part of a life. ‘I want no world for you are my world my true’. It could very well mean that there is no other world for him unless there is life. He is trying to say that life is everything it makes the world go around in away. It’s everything good in the world. He talk of a secret no body knows an states ‘here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and sky of the sky of a tree called life, which grows higher than the soul can hope or the main hide and here is the wonder that keeps the stars apart’.
