Choose 2 poems. On a separate piece of paper (you may type if you like) explain WHY the theme works for the poem by discussing the poem's (select 1) imagery, metaphors/similes, symbols, word choices (connotations), or repetition. Reference two details from the poem to illustrate.
Example: The song "Both Sides Now" is a meditation on reality and fantasy. The author uses a repeating structure in each of her verses to demonstrate this. For example, verse one discusses her playful understanding of clouds as a child by saying she looked at clouds as "ice cream castles in the air," The next verse discusses a more practical and adult perspective of clouds by saying "now they [clouds] only block the sun. Every verse is paired together like this to show the competing views of fantasy and reality.
