"Seize the Day" poem analysis

   Unlike the normal poem, which people can directly find the rhyme and know the meaning of the poem is, this poem is hard to find its rhyme, rhetorical strategies that were used in this poem. But somehow some small stanzas, which created by independent lines and sentences, and the repetition that were used in this poem stand out to me and create this beautiful poem.
   The first thing that stands out to me is the third stanza. "Let water heal your body. Think of bathing as a ritual of new beginnings." For me, heal at here means cure, like the things that can cure someone. It is a metaphor. Then, the second sentence is a simile, because it used the word "as" to compare two things. It also used alliteration in the second sentence, the word "bathing" and "beginnings". Compared with other stanza, this stanza has only two sentences which is two lines, which attract audiences attention when they are reading this. I am interested in this because it is like a normal life for me: wake up in the morning, and take a shower. In the morning, because people just woke up, they were sleepy. Taking bathing will let them be sober. That is why I think the poet used ritual of new beginnings at here, it is a new day so its a new beginning; and it is like a ritual, you will wash your body and make your brain feel sober. In my interpretation, this poem talks about a workday for a person. She used "new beginnings" to describe not only the beginning of the day, but also mentioning the beginning of the story in the poem. Like this person beginning his or her day with bathing.
   The next lines that stand out to me is the second sentence in the seventh stanza:" Remember, there is little lasting joy in things done only for gold or fame." The author makes this stand out by using a repetition. The word "Remember" appears in the poem for three times. First one is the first word of the poem, second one is in the last sentence of the fourth stanza. Also, it talks about one of the truth that for the jobs and works, there are still containing fun and joy, but you need to find it. I interested in this section because first, it sounds good. When you read it, you will find out that the the "lasting joy" have certain connection between "gold and fame". And the word "little" and "lasting" is an example of alliteration. Second reason it stands out to me is because it is telling people to find the joy in their works, which I think people right now are lacking that. If people can have fun while they are doing their work, works will not be that depressed and boring for them. It connects to the meaning of the poem because first, it talks about the beginning of the day, like talking about he or she took a bath in the morning. Then, this part talks about the midday. Like this person's job and work, how he or she likes this job. In my interpretation, this person is a painter. Before he or she came to the working place, he or she saw some butterfly, bugs, and dog. That is interesting for him or her so that when he or she arrive at the working place and doing his or her job, he or she drew the butterfly and bugs down because it showed that he or she loves nature.
