Example of
poem
Winter Poem
by: Nikki Giovanni

Once a snowflake fell

On my brow and i loved
It so much and i kissed
It and it was happy and called its
cousins
And brothers and a web
Of snow engulfed me then I reached to
love them all And i squeezed them and
they
became A spring rain and i stood
perfectly
In this free verse poem. Giovanni uses metaphor and
imagery to personify nature and the changing of the
seasons. The speaker is surrounded by snow. Then
changes it to spring rain through the expression of her
love. Thus representing growth and transformation.
This reflects my literary thread because Giovanni
realized that she had to change if she wished to grow
throughout her life. She encouraged her community to
change by stepping out of their comfort zone and doing
something that they haven't before.
 Dalam puisi puisi bebas ini. Giovanni menggunakan
metafora dan citra untuk mempersonifikasikan alam
dan perubahan musim. Pembicara dikelilingi oleh
salju. Kemudian mengubahnya menjadi hujan musim
semi melalui ekspresi cintanya. Dengan demikian
mewakili pertumbuhan dan transformasi.
Ini mencerminkan utas sastra saya karena Giovanni
menyadari bahwa dia harus berubah jika dia ingin
tumbuh sepanjang hidupnya. Dia mendorong
komunitasnya untuk berubah dengan keluar dari
zona nyaman mereka dan melakukan sesuatu yang
belum pernah mereka lakukan sebelumnya.
