2. Write a discussion in response to one of the following prompts, each concerning the poem "Poetry" on p. 792. If you prefer, you may combine two or more of the prompts. Email your discussion to me, or hand it in in person.
a. This poem is included in a section called "stanza forms." How would you describe the stanzas in this poem? How are they typical stanzas, or atypical stanzas? Do the stanzas reflect the content in any way?
b. The poem sounds like a lecture on poetry. Setting the stanza form aside, is it anything more than a lecture, or to put it another way, is there anything that makes it an unusual lecture?
c. What does the spekaer like and appreciate? Do these things have anything in common?
