discussion bored on poem analysis and reply to a post

As part of this unit, you’ve been asked to read the following 6 poems, which are representative of the types of poems you have been asked to write yourselves (you may want to preview the assignment instructions for the two poems you’ll be writing this semester before completing this post):

• “Early December in Croton-on-Hudson”
• “A Blessing“
• “Ludwig Van Beethoven’s Return to Vienna”
• “Pig Song“
• “The Shirt“
• “Ode to the Yard Sale“

Please provide your feedback on the author’s techniques in ONE of these poems. In doing so, please comment on how the poet has utilized the literary devices covered within this unit (line breaks, diction, figurative language, etc.) to marry form and content. Quote for support. Be sure to have read the Unit 1 lessons before completing your post. Original post should be at least 250 words in length.

For your peer review, choose one student’s post and respond thoughtfully. Peer response should be at least 100 words in length.

Choose a piece that has not yet been reviewed. A piece should not receive a second review if another piece exists that has not yet been reviewed – comment on the new piece without a review first.
