	Poetry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the European tradition the earliest surviving poems, the Homeric and Hesiodic epics, identify themselves as poems to be recited or chanted to a musical accompaniment rather than as pure song.
		As a result many of the poems surviving from the ancient world are a form of recorded cultural information about the people of the past, and their poems are prayers or stories about religious subject matter, histories about their politics and wars, and the important organizing myths of their societies.
		The introduction of writing fixed the content of a poem to the version that happened to be written down and survive.

	[minstrels] The Gift Outright -- Robert Frost
		That said, I doubt if Frost could have picked a better poem to recite.
		Frost wrote a longer poem, "Dedication" for the inauguration, but the glare of the sun on the snow blinded him (he was 86 years old) and he recited this, which he knew by heart.

	How to Read a Poem
		In the poem "Marks" the speaker is using a school metaphor to vent her frustration at being constantly evaluated by her family.
		It's one thing not to realize in the poem "Morning Song" that the speaker is a new mother speaking to her newborn baby, and not realizing that the mother seems to feel two ways about her baby.
		A prose rendering of the poem "Morning Song" would run something like this: I am supposedly your mother, I conceived you, gave birth to you, but somehow, even as I run to you and care for you, I feel that you are a stranger to me. Notice how bland and unremarkable this rendering is.

	[minstrels] Ars Poetica -- Archibald MacLeish
		Just happen to be doing work on MacLeish and am specifically explicating these 2 poems.
		As for the poem, it simply is. [1] and not, as several overingenious students have suggested, 'poetry my ae' Links: A nice serial analysis of the poem** can be found at - I don't agree with every one of his points, but overall he's done a nice job.
		From: Trish Sutherland Hello, I am only a junior in high school, but that poem is "The End of the World".

	Poetry Form - The Concrete Poem
		The meaning of the poem would remain if the increasing indentation of successive lines were removed.
		But imagine that your poem is to be printed as a picture and that you can decide on the ideal shape for the poem.
		How to Read a Poem and Fall in Love with Poetry, by Edward Hirsch, reports that "pattern poems have been found in Greek, Latin..., Hebrew, Chinese, Sanskrit, ancient Persian, and in most modern European languages." The Pattern Poem shows a visual relationship of the form and the meaning.

	UNC Writing Center Handout Poetry Explications
		By personifying a voiceless object, the poem presents a different perception of reality, placing the reader in the same position of the speaker and inviting the reader to question the conflict between appearance and reality, between what we see and what we can know.
		The poem ends with a vague statement: "And all that mighty heart is lying still!" In this line, the city's heart could be dead, or it could be simply deceiving the one observing the scene.
		In these paragraphs, the writer should explain the poem line by line in terms of these details, and he or she should incorporate important elements of rhyme, rhythm, and meter during this discussion.

	An Interview with Stephen Dobyns — Stephen Dobyns
		That poem is an elegy, an elegy to one's past life; an elegy to one's dead innocence.
		If their impetus to write a poem is the same impetus that one has picking up a peanut, then it's not quite as driven, it seems to me.
		The other is that the poem is something made, that you take language that you form and that you move the words around, which it exists then as a made object.

	Amazon.co.uk: Poem [Limited Edition]: Music
		POEM will not be to everyone's taste (Oasis fans forget it), but I challenge ANY reviewer who claims to like the new so fashionable "chilled" scene, and who can appreciate superb and diversified female lyrics without a hint of "folk", to buy this album.
		The duo behind Poem, Bill Leeb and Rhys Fulber, have been perfecting their Enigma-esque form of pseudospiritual, vaguely gothic dance-pop since they began collaborating in the mid-1980s.
		Poem is brilliant especially through a good set of headphones.

	The Poe Decoder - "The Raven"
		A poem should always be written short enough to be read in one sitting, and should, therefore, strive to achieve this single, unique effect.
		Poe builds the tension in this poem up, stanza by stanza, but after the climaxing stanza he tears the whole thing down, and lets the narrator know that there is no meaning in searching for a moral in the raven's "nevermore".
		Another reason for using "Pallas" in the poem was, according to Poe himself, simply because of the "sonorousness of the word, Pallas, itself" (Poe, 1850).

	In Flanders Field, Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae
		Although he had been a doctor for years and had served in the South African War, it was impossible to get used to the suffering, the screams, and the blood here, and Major John McCrae had seen and heard enough in his dressing station to last him a lifetime.
		Dissatisfied with it, McCrae tossed the poem away, but a fellow officer retrieved it and sent it to newspapers in England.
		Thanks to Mack Welford for reminding me of this great poem.

	Samuel Taylor Coleridge: Kubla Khan
		The poem is also a classic case of European fantasizing about the exotic and luxurious East.
		Note that in the last part of the poem the newly introduced "I" has a vision in which, inspired by a singing woman, he would imaginatively recreate in air the Khan's dome.
		He suffered great physical and emotional pain during his life and became addicted to opium.

	Phillis Wheatley: Precursor of American Abolitionism
		The only hint of injustice found in any of her poems is in the line "Some view our sable race with scornful eye" - it would be almost a hundred years before another black writer would drop the mask of convention and write openly about the African-American experience.
		She became a sensation in Boston in the 1760s when her poem on the death of the Reverend George Whitefield made her famous.
		Whitefield, the great evangelical preacher who frequently toured New England, happened to be a close friend of Countess Selina of Huntington, and the latter invited Phillis to London to assist her in the publication of her poems.
