All poems to be
discussed are in the "Learning Activities" tab in Lesson 3.
1. Discuss setting and
character is a specific poem. What themes might be apparent as a result of the
setting and character portrayed in the poem? If someone has already discussed a
specific poem for this discussion, choose another poem.
2. Synesthesia is a
mixing of the senses, when one sense is expected but another is used. For
example, in Frost's "Fire and Ice," he says, "tasted
desire," when one might expect a feeling of desire. Feeling blue (mixing
tactile imagery with the visual) or saying that a piece of music is cool, or
hot, are common examples of synesthesia. Can you find some other examples of
synesthesia in the assigned poems? What is the effect created in each of your
examples? If someone else has addressed this discussion, be sure that you do
not use the same examples.
3. Why do you think
that the open form of poetry (without rhyme or meter) IS poetry and not simply
prose? What characteristics stand out that classify the open form as poetry?
4. Discuss rhyme and
meter and other poetry devices that might be related to rhyme and meter, such
as sonnet, couplet, repetition, or enjambment, in a specific poem. Why do you
think the author chose to use this particular rhyme and meter? If someone has
already discussed a specific poem for this discussion, choose another poem.
5. Discuss the words
and images used in a specific poem. What
figurative language might be used to enhance the words and images? How are the
words and images effective in making the speaker’s point? If someone has
already discussed a specific poem for this discussion, choose another poem.
