Blog Post 3/16

Hello Cherubs! Happy long weekend to you. Don't use up all your time watching re-runs of Mork and Mindy on Spike (yeah, look it up). Instead, do some poem scans!

Scan "Ozymandias" and "Meeting at Night". Write one paragraph about how the metrical pattern enhances the meaning of each.

I'll post a picture of the "Virtue" scan from my book to augment your confidence before scanning the two poems above. Take heart! This is not an exact science - trust your ear, be ready to support your decisions and all will be well. Click on the pictures so you see the whole pic!





We WILL have the in-class timed essay on Monday, so study all things poetry and maybe re-read the writing about poetry examples.

nanoo, nanoo,
