A Song About Myself Comments

Wonderful he is! There the poet shows paradox that he was an escapist, as some of critics say.

Wonderful little poem from the great poet. A poem that is enjoyed by children and grown ups alike... “What write There he found That the ground Was as hard, That a yard Was as long, That a song Was as merry, “ great write.... poetry...

Extremely romantic poem with skill and rhythm... Beautifully executed..

A Song About Myself by John Keats.I have read this most beautiful poem time and again. His life so tragic. Truly. He died too young. He had not become 25 years old, I reckon and died because of tuberculose. Poor boy! Cute poem!

He rivetted close And followed his nose To the north, To the north, And follow'd his nose To the north.............................WOW! John KEATS my most favourite Poet and he died so young, too young to die. His life was so tragic and saddest since he had tbc from his parents-mother. His grandparents remained healthy. What a most tragic life, in his time there was no medicine for this disease, that´s the tragedy.

Really loved it... Naila

Nice poem

So long

A western version of the Eastern Indian Abolakara (by Manoj Das) . This poem gives the same thrilling as in those stories of childhood about a character Abolakara, the disobedient, who did everything at his will, with all heart. Thanks poet for reviving childhood.

A jaunty and whimsical autobiography. Captures the true spirit and spunk of boyhood. Delightful!

Hi.. Can you please help me knowing the rhyme of this poem, such as (abaab) , I find it hard to know it Please help me as quickly as you can, I have an assignment for tonight: (

A song about Myself- a poem from the pen of a great poet, John Keats.Wondered at its beauty and its inherent meaning.As children we all must have heard the word 'naughty' umpteen times.Sometimes it is uttered with real anger , but sometimes it is expressed as sweet adoration from doting parents.Keat's naughty boy refers to the, free spirit.and independent mind of the boy who followed his heart from a very young age.The last stanza is quite meaningful.What he found at the long last- -that nothing is different.People are quite same everywhere.

A really beautiful poem! Hats off to you!

The words dance and are alive. A outstanding poem.

i sure love that naughty boy- full of guts for adventures and new learnings

John Keats would probably never have approved this being published as one of his poems. It is simply an (untitled) excerpt from a letter to his young sister Fanny when he was on his walking tour northward to Scotland. Even so, I am glad it has been preserved and published, for it is a perfect example of what it was intended to be: a bit of doggerel written for the amusement of a child. Yet it also reflects some of his values as a man as well as playfully celebrating childhood itself. Young Fanny must have been delighted when she received this letter. I know my son was delighted when we read this poem to him over and over again from a little volume illustrated by the Caldecott winner Ezra Jack Keats. Keats the Eternal Child is present in every line of the poem, but Keats the Man, the Poet, is especially evident in at least two spots: O he made 'Twas his trade Of fish a pretty kettle After all, that's what poets do: make a pretty kettle of fish. So he stood in his shoes And he wonder'd, He wonder'd, He stood in his Shoes and he wonder'd. For the Poet, to go 'to the north, to the north, ' is to engage one's imagination, to exercise one's creativity, to free oneself from the routine, everyday humdrum, but eventually even the Poet learns that the imagination or one's creativity can invest everything and every place with 'wonder': 'the ground was as hard... as in England.'

well done-keep it up :)
