Poetry Reading Response Comparing two poems; Time by Allen Curnow and First Love by John Clare Rolla Tyas Amalia- Grade 11 Something I learned while reading these two poems is how simple things like time and love can affect peoples life and turn it complicated. This idea can be seen in the poem Time by Allen Curnow. The poem talks about how time can affects and control everything in the world, including peoples life. An example of this is when the time being stated as the Beginning and the End. It says in the poem, I am, you have heard it, the Beginning and the End. This means that time started everything and by time everything has it ends. Time lets living things live, but it also kills them. Time creates any object, but it also destroys it. By time everything has a beginning and an end. Through time, everything can be more complicated when were racing with time. Its not the time that is changing, because Curnow keeps explaining in the poem that time has no beginning nor ending, but its just there guiding us through life. The second poem, First Love by John Clare is about how someone had fallen in love but its been unrequited, and it affects their life. An example of that is when it says, And when she looked, what could I ail? My life and all seemed turned to clay. This means that he cant resist her and his feeling when he was fallen in love with her. It also says, My heart has left its dwelling-place and can return no more. This means that his love had fallen apart but he couldnt fix it. It indicates the loss of innocence in the sense that his passions and desires. This shows us how love could make someones life become complicated. Life isnt a simple thing that can be described easily. There are many things that could affect our ways of living. Time and love could be the main things that affect peoples life. With love this world can make peace and with love also world can be destroy. Time is important, because everything is changing through the flowing of time. It always there guiding us through life.
