Poetry Homework

Select a poet from the following list, then select a poem he or she wrote. Print out that poem and write a 125 word response explaining what you think it means. Be prepared to present it to the class! If you want to select a different poet, e-mail me by Saturday night for approval. This is due May 7th for Freshmen, and May 9th for Seniors. If you use a poem that no one else in the class uses, you get extra credit!
