Answers
Answer:
here is your answer please mark me brain list follow me and thanks me
Explanation:
You hate me and I hate you,
And we are so polite, we two!
But whenever I see you, I burst apart
And scatter the sky with my blazing heart.
In spits and sparkles in stars and balls,
Buds into roses— and flares, and falls.
Scarlet buttons, and pale green disks,
Silver spirals and asterisks,
Shoot and tremble in a mist
Peppered with mauve and amethyst.
I shine in the window and light up the trees,
And all because I hate you, if you please.
And when you meet me, you rend asunder
And go up in a flaming wonder
Of saffron cubes, and crimson moons,
And wheels all amaranths and maroons.
Golden lozenges and spades,
Arrows of malachites and jades,
Patens of copper, azure sheaves.
As you mount, you flash in the glossy leaves.
Such fireworks as we make, we two!
Because you hate me and I hate you.

In the poem, “Fireworks” by Amy Lowell, the speaker’s fury toward someone is compared to the burst of fireworks. The poem shows hate in the way it kept on saying things like, “And all because I hate you, if you please.” It also shows relationship the relation ship that they had for each other. It described their relationship when it said,“It spits and sparkles in stars and balls, Buds into roses—and flares and falls. (Lowell)”, and the other speaker says, “Of saffron cubes, and crimson moons (Lowell)”. When reading this poem, you can tell the speakers have a lot of problems and hate each other.
In the second stanza, when Lowell wrote, “But whenever I see you I burst apart and scatter the sky with my blazing heart (Lowell)”, you realize how much of the relationship between the two speakers is like fireworks. In the poem, the speaker really expresses its anger and conflict toward the other speaker through its emotions. You can certainly see how the poet came up with the title, because the definition of “fireworks” is, “a display of violent temper or fierce activity.”
Throughout the poem, Lowell applies many metaphors. The metaphors are shown when the fireworks between the two speakers, are being compared to unrelated objects such as the stars, balls, roses, cubes, moons, and wheels. In the poem, Lowell uses a rhyming scheme of AABB, or also said as every two rhyme. Lowell also uses alliterations such as, “But whenever I see you I burst apart and scatter the sky with my blazing heart. It spits and sparkles in stars and balls, Buds into roses—flares, and falls. (Lowell)” Alliterations, not only duplicate consonant sounds at the beginning of words, but it improves the effect of the vision the readers have on the poem. The anger and detail Amy Lowell uses in this poem, really gives the reader an understanding and vision of the speakers’ thoughts.
