Poetry Month: Three Forms — Homework

Reread all three poems from this week before answering.

  1. 1.Name the three poetic forms covered this week.
  2. 2.What is Sandburg comparing fog to in "Fog," and why might free verse suit that comparison better than a strict rhyme scheme?
  3. 3.Why does a narrative poem like "Paul Revere's Ride" use rhyme and a steady beat, when the haiku and free verse poem do not?
  4. 4.Write your own short haiku capturing a single real image from your week, then explain in one sentence why the tight form fits that image.
