I need to know what "goatfooted" and "puddle-wonderful" mean. It's from the poem, "In Just-".

puddle-wonderful refers to the recent spring rains, which the author of the poem views favorably.  the goat-footed man suggests that the man is associated with satan, who is sometimes described as having goat-feet.

The point of the poem is not really what it means... because what it means is basically what you read. There is no underlying deep, philosophical meaning to it. It is a simply, living poem. When you read it, its supposed to "conjure" up the images, the sounds, the tastes, etc. It's the imagery thats strong and important. The meaning of the poem is really basic, so I won't tell you specifically tell you what it is. But my answer is a hint.

And there are so many other oddities and absurdities about the English language.  I love sharing this poem ....\n\nWhen the English tongue we speak\nWhy is break not rhymed with freak?\nWill you tell me why it’s true\nWe say sew, but likewise few?\nAnd the maker of a verse,\nCannot rhyme his horse with worse?\nBeard is not the same as heard,\nCord is different from word,\nCow is cow, but low is low,\nShoe is never rhymed with foe.\nThink of hose and dose and lose,\nAnd think of goose and yet of choose,\nThink of comb and tomb and bomb,\nDoll and roll and home and some.\nAnd since pay is rhymed with say,\nWhy not paid with said I pray?\nThink of blood and food and good;\nMould is not pronounced like could.\nWherefore done, but gone and lone -\nIs there any reason known?\nTo sum up all, it seems to me\nSounds and letters don’t agree.\n\nAnd also the poem at this link.

It means that the spelling of the previous word is as written from a written or spoken quote. The writer is letting you know that they are aware that it is wrong but relating it as it was spoken or written.\n\n*** at the bottom of a page is a foot note.\nYou will find the *** in the text and then a matching ***at the bottom of the page.  This  is used to explain something about the text, an interpretation of the associated text or  information  to cite the source of the text, to give credit to the original writer.\nYou will find * and later ** and later ***  and so on, all to show you something about the associated text.

Glenda   --\n\nSince this is your only activity, I do not know if this is a loaded question or not.  For the sake of possible true interest, I will take the time to answer as best as I can.\nI am curious as to why you broke the passage down into two verse segments.  The entire 82nd Psalm is titled A psalm of Asaph.  It is presumed to be written by Asaph, who was a Levite leader of the choir of King David.\n\nVerses 1&2 is the introduction.  Asaph summarizes by saying that Divinity has judged the mighty ones (the elohim).  In this case, he was referring to the court judges, not pagan gods.  This is followed by the results of that Divine judgment, the admonition in the form of a question:  How much longer will you (the judges) favor the wicked with your unfair decisions?\n\nThis is punctuated with the Hebrew word Seleh.  This could be a fanfare or a choral response (or even a verbal equivalent of the Christian Amen).  It is often translated into English as an Interlude.\n\nVerses 3&4 lists the primary failures of the Judges, or at least tells them what they should be doing.  Hebrew use of shame.  Basically it calls for the Judges to stand up for the rights of those with little or no political power: the poor, the orphans, the needy, the afflicted or oppressed.  Help these out of the clutches of wicked.\n\nVerses 5&6 list the position of the wicked oppressors:  they are ignorant and without wisdom.  They are in darkness, but because they do not know this , they shake the entire world.  Again Asaph calls upon the Judges as the mighty ones (elohim), but not reminds them that all of humanity are children of the Most High.\n\nVerses 7&8 sum the concepts saying that even the Judges are men and will pass on.  Divinity will judge the earth and reveal the legacy.\n\nMy Hebrew is a little rusty, so please forgive any minor mistakes. The most confusing part of the text is the use of the word elohim (which is plural) and is similar to the singular form of the word used to address Divinity.  The King James version translates this as the word gods.

This poem, like many of Blake's works, is simple and childlike, but its meaning is profound.  In many of his poems he uses symbols, and we are left to interpret the meaning.  To me this poem is about empathy and sharing the grief of others.  In today's world people may think that God has forsaken us, but in our time of greatest need he is there beside us, sharing our grief and giving us the inner strength we will need to cope with it.   We need to look beyond what the mortal eyes can see and not be misled by our superficial perception of reality.   To Blake God is not an abstract idea, but a real entity\n\nPerhaps another poem, Footprints, is a good commentary on this one of William Blake's.\n\nIf you do a YA search for William Blake you will find more than 30 questions about him and his poetry.  You may find helpful information there.

the mood is one of satisfaction. the writer is saying that when you have a fence dividing you, it does not "divide" but it prevents.the tone, i guess would be the same. Why exactly are you reading this poem? i had to for a school project.

Poem:\n"He Wishes For The Cloths of Heaven"\n- William Butler Yeats\n\nHad I the heavens' embroidered cloths,\nEnwrought with golden and silver light,\nThe blue and the dim and the dark cloths\nOf night and light and the half-light,\nI would spread the cloths under your feet:\nBut I, being poor, have only my dreams;\nI have spread my dreams under your feet;\nTread softly, because you tread on my dreams.\n\nQuote:\n"The pig died for you to eat not pet"\nlol I don't really have a favorite quote

i can say to u thatz my best Poem...\nand the count.. of it is:\n\nBeware the fantasy that speaks,\nThe vague ideal that springs a soul.\nNo marriage can avoid the shoal\nThat lies beneath such sun-drenched peaks.\nNo love but may retreat to stone\nAs sirens sad the heart entice.\nTwo names entwine in paradise\nWhile here two lovers lie alone.

You probably know what most of the words mean, and it's really a nonsensical sentence.  Chaotical- isn't really a word, I think they mean "chaotic." but that wouldn't rhyme with amneotical, as in amniotic fluid, the fluid that surrounds a baby in the womb (amneotical isn't really a word either, but it works better with chaotical). Onomatopoeia Isn't an art, it's when words sound like what they describe, like whiz, buzz, or flush.  In short, the sentence means nothing except that the author (the rap druid)was probably stoned when he wrote it, and was trying to say "Chaotic amniotic fluid, I can rhyme even though it makes no sense!!"  This is one sentence taken out of context, so it's possible it has some meaning in the context of the song, a reference to chaotic beginnings, perhaps?
