Heyy everyone!!

 

Im doing a project for english and i need to connect a poem to a song and i wanted to use a coldplay song! (obviously :P)

 

so does anyone know a peom that could be related to any cp song?! lol

 

thanks! :D

really all of them!

 

but swallowed in the sea is full of imagery and symbolism.

our english teacher related this to coldplay

 

A neighbourhood.

At dusk.

 

Things are getting ready

to happen

out of sight.

 

Stars and moths.

And rinds slanting around fruit.

 

But not yet.

 

One tree is black.

One window is yellow as butter.

 

A woman leans down to catch a child

who has run into her arms

this moment.

 

Stars rise.

Moths flutter.

Apples sweeten in the dark.

 

it's eavan boland's this moment.

 

:laugh4:

I always connect Yellow to these 2 lines of a poem by Neruda...

 

 

In nude you are as bare as one of your hands

smooth, earthly, small, round, transparent

with lines of moon and paths of an apple,

in nude you’re slender like a naked stem of wheat.

 

In nude you look blue like the Cuban night

with stars and vines in your hair,

in nude you are whole and yellow

like summer in a church of gold.

 

In nude you look tiny like one of your finger nails

curvy, subtle, rose-colored like the rising dawn

and you move back to the world's underground.

 

As if in a large tunnel of robes and chores:

your clarity, dressed, blinds and drops its leaves

and other times becomes a naked hand again.
