Robert Frost: The Sound of Trees
Robert Frost: Nothing Gold Can Stay
Robert Frost: Acquainted with the Night
Edgar Allan Poe: The Bells
Today, we are going to cover sound and rhythm in poetry. There's a lot here and many terms and literary devices you will need to know. I'd suggest you pay attention and take notes. Expect to be tested on key terms soon.
After reading Mary Oliver's discussion about SOUND, please look at the following links (you may use your headphones). For each, try to notice sound imagery, rhythm and cadence. If you don't get to this today, please complete Friday.
Please try to complete your five Ordinary Things drafts today in class. Print out your drafts when you are done with them and turn them into the "in box" by my desk.
Other poems to listen to:
Wallace Stevens: The Emperor of Ice Cream
Mary Oliver: The Summer Day
Mary Oliver: Wild Geese
Edgar Allan Poe: Annabel Lee
Edgar Allan Poe: The Raven
Completely done? What's the next assignment? Try writing a poem using a variety of sound techniques. Theme, structure, length, and subject is all up to you.
