One of the poems we had to analyze was "Homage to My Hips". This poem is extremely creative. It has unique features that make it stand out from other poems. One feature is that there are no capital letters in the poem whatsoever. If you sit back and just look at the poem as a whole, by having no capital letters adds a shape to the structure of the poem and the shape of the poem is that of hips.
This shows one way the poem is related to the title of it. The repetitiveness of the words these and they, show that she owns the hips but, the hips have a mind of there "own". This gives a sense of personification to the poem. This is a literary element that is used to create a good poem. There are many more things to talk about in this poem but this is the one i decided to focus on in my blog.
