p. 730 #4 Write a 5 line poem...
WORDS: eccentric, plethora, magnificent, giggle, awkward
The quietest giggle
is a magnificent sight
An awkward smile
makes for a plethora
of eccentric endings...
QUESTIONS: Jennifer Reeser, p. 738. "Winter-Proof"
1. The word calendula in the poem gives contrats to the other flowers mentioned, violet, camellia, and rose.
2. Mentioning graveyard in there gives meaning to the violet, camielia, and rose because unlike the others, they will die in the winter, while the calendula and others will live through the winter.
p.755 Robert Bly, "Driving to Town Late to Mail a Letter"
It is a cold and snowy night. The main street is deserted.
The only things moving are swirls of snow.
As i lift the mailbox door, i feel it's cold iron.
There is a privacy i love in this snowy night.
Driving around, i will waste more time.
IN MY OWN WORDS:
Mainstreet was cold and snowy at night
Snow was the only thing moving
i open the cold mailbox
i love private snowy nights
i waste time driving.
