Document Summary

Choose one poem from the list for your seminar. Discuss your experience of the poem, pushing your discussion in the direction of the increasingly intelligible. Just say what you think, don"t think it"s s particular answer. We want to make something from our poem experience. The more poems you read, the more comfortable you will feel explaining. Just let the poem happen, like a piece of music the experience of the poem and not the meaning per say. Everything relates in a poem- so find the relationships and connections. Charm bracelets- represent us and the power and passion of us. Spoke sounds and an action was done= magic charm. Picks you up and carries you to a new place= music charm. Comparison to weather- the weather affects our moods, like a poem does or a charm does. Look at it like a whole and then focus on the details.
