  2. I think he means that poetry will never die out because everyone will keep on writing it. The earth its self has its own poetry. you can look around in nature and make a poem out of it. It relates to Romantic Literature because it has to do with the earth and the environment. I agree because everything in life and nature can be made into a poem/

  3. I think Keats qoute means that poetry of nature never dies out. Everyone will always be talking about nature in their poems. This is representative of romantic literature because it has to do with Earth, and Earth is a huge part of nature. I do agree with Keats on his opinion in his qoute, because nature will always be a part of poetry. Nature will never not be a part of poetry bacause it has a huge part of it.

  4. I believe that this means poetry will never die, poetry is anywhere and everywhere and will never go away. Poetry has a sense of direction and the path that it shows can help anyone through hard times and or be a guide to someone. My belief of poetry is that it can cause so much relief to anyone. I love poetry, I sometimes even base certain things I do or say off of poetry. Poetry will continue to grow throughout the world and will always be there for alternative working or a main idea.

  5. I feel that poetry will never die. Poetry can describe anything and everything at any point in time. In the far future I can gurantee that poetry will still be used. Poetry in my opinion is very fun and can be used in any way. Even poetry in school is very interesting. Everything about poetry can help anyone contribute to either helping someone or even themselves in a sense that words can be actually meaningful instead of just saying them. Without poetry I think more people would be stressed out, poetry can really relieve stress if you truely use it the way it's supposed to be used.

  6. I believe that if it is literally poetry of the earth than it will die for it being on biodegradable paper, but if it’s the earth's poetry it will never die. Keats explains metaphorically that happenings on earth become a part of history meaning that poetry refers to past. In my viewpoint it seems he thinks much of the past. Keats uses romantic literature in the quote when he references earth symbolizing nature. I agree with his idea because the past is roots to our present and future supporting life for times or people ahead.

  7. Poetry will never die because it isn't something that is tangable. Yes, it is written on paper, but the words themselves are what we feel. Poetry comes from within a person, and can be felt everywhere. From describing nature, to dipicting your life. Even when people die, their words are still remembered. Poetry will always be a universal way to feel emotions through words.

  10. I think Keats means that poetry will never die as long as earth itself never dies. It relates to Romantic literature because it involves nature and the environment. I agree because poetry and everywhere you look. Songs, quotes, and everything else in the world came from poetry. As long as their is poetry then earth will live on

  12. I think that Keat means that the earth is always changing and because it's always changing, there will always be something to write about. Poetry will be every where until the earth comes to an end. I also feel as if people need poetry just like people need earth. Poetry helps people get through the obstacles in life. I agree with this saying.

  13. "The poetry of the earth is never dead," can be interpreted as the earth will never stop speaking to you through nature. The earth will never exactly die, just the things on it will. Even when things die, they're still speaking to you. This is representive of Romantic literature because Keats is comparing nature to life. He is expressing a love toward nature and how we can relate it to our lives. I agree with this quote, because everything that happens on this earth is sending you a message. Everything that happens on earth can teach you a lesson, and help you.

  16. Keats means that nature is forever. Any poet will always have nature to appreciate and write about, because life doesn't exist without nature. We are nature. This represents romantic literature because appreciation of nature is present and this kind of literature has ideals based on that. I agree with Keats because especially as a romantic poet, nature is what inspires.

  17. I feel that what Keats means by this is that as long as there's an earth, there will be poetry. He is simply saying poetry is eternal. This relates to Romantic literature by comparing poetry itself to the Earth, and nature. I do agree with what Keats is saying because I honestly believe the earth will never end. And with the earth never ending there will always be poetry. - Alek maurer.

  21. What Keats means by this is that once someone has written something down in the world of literature he meant that it would never truly disappear. Because on any given day anyone can pick up any work of literature from any time period and read it. Therefore it could be 100 years before someone reads your work but eventually someone will or will have the chance to read it. Also Keats shows that this represents Romantic literature because he is stating that the work of is living and will continue living. If the work is living than that means it is a part of nature.

  23. I think it means that poetry will never end. People are always writing about something so therefore it will never die. Nature has been around forever so it's a way of saying so will poetry. I think it has alot to do with Amerian Literature because people go to nature and the outside world for answers. I also agree with this because I believe poetry will be here forever because people use writing as a way to speak there mind. Also it's a way to release stress and have your voice heard.

  25. This quote by John Keats is effect xplaing how that no matter what happens in the world poets can talk about nature. Some poets talk about how wars are bad and how some feel about a certain topic but those things go away. Nature will always be thereamd people can always look at nature and think of its beauty. Almost all romantic literature talks about how nature affects them or how they feel about it. And I think that he is completely true. Poets talk about how nature is amazing and people can always tuning about how amazing nature is even if they don't view it poeticly

  28. I think that “The poetry of the earth is never dead” means that we will continually use earth as an interpretation in poetry or as a metaphor or just realistically. This is a representation of Romantic literature because it references earth, which is a part of nature. I agree with Keats because I believe that nature is a huge part of life. Therefore, since poetry will never die out, nature will continue to be in poetry.
