I wandered lonely as a cloud july 24 #2

this poem is written as a sonnet with the primary rhyme being trochaic tetremeter. The cloud is being used as a metaphor for direction. The persona is torn by his ual identity. There is also the usage of iambic meter.
The meaning I draw from this is love is a never ending thing. To love is to be loved. We never forget our first "true love".

You really need to research the authors of all of these poems to truly gain a feel for them. Wordsworth was so attuned to nature, and this poem is a beautiful reflection of his appreciation for nature and the fact that all too often we do not appreciate the beauty around us until much later in our lives.
2.5/3
