Paragraph:

The poem written by Amy Lowell is about a woman’s neighbour who loves playing music with his flute. During the day the author describes him eating with one hand and copying music with the other. She doesn’t like looking at him because is he bald and fat but, she loves listening to the sound of his flute during the night. Examples of figurative language in the poem is when she said “the flute-notes push against my ears and lips” and “the round notes flutter and tap about the room.” These examples represent personification because she is describing flute-notes pushing against her ears and tap about the room even though it does not literally. This image represents the poem because while she is in her bed, she admires her neighbours flute even though he is bald and fat. I think the main message of this overall poem was accepting others for who they are since she does not like his appearance but enjoys his sound of his flute.
