1 Poetry Project For this project, you will be asked to close read poems written in a variety of styles and with many different themes. The first poet will be assigned to you. You will close read and analyze the selected poet using the provided handout. For the second poet, you will choose from a list of options and you will be able to select a poem that you find in your research. The third and final poet is you! You will choose any of the poets you have studied and write a poem that emulates, or mimics their writing, but with your own unique ideas. Name: Class Period:
2 Robert Frost ( ) Emily Dickinson ( ) Walt Whitman ( ) The Road Not Taken Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim Because it was grassy and wanted wear, Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. Hope is the thing with feathers Hope is the thing with feathers - That perches in the soul - And sings the tune without the words - And never stops - at all - And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard - And sore must be the storm - That could abash the little Bird That kept so many warm - I ve heard it in the chillest land - And on the strangest Sea - Yet - never - in Extremity, It asked a crumb - of me. Song of Myself Section XXI Smile O voluptuous cool-breath d earth! Earth of the slumbering and liquid trees! Earth of departed sunset earth of the mountains misty-topt! Earth of the vitreous pour of the full moon just tinged with blue! Earth of shine and dark mottling the tide of the river! Earth of the limpid gray of clouds brighter and clearer for my sake! Far-swooping elbow d earth rich apple-blossom d earth! Smile, for your lover comes.
