Kasey's AP English Blog!: Slam Poetry
http://quinlanapenglish.blogspot.com/2009/03/slam-poetry.html
Sunday, March 29, 2009. On What Teachers Make" by Taylor Mali. It can be found here. DEFINITELY LISTEN TO IT =). To begin, I think it's very important that slam poetry be listened to, as it IS called spoken word. To read a splam poem is nothing compared to hearing the author recite it because much of the importance is in the tone and delivery. The art of spoken word is so greatly dependent on the presentation. In this slam poem, Mali uses the literary device of apostrophe. Kasey's AP English Blog! Ambigu...

Michaela's Poetry Blog: Spenserian sonnet: Sonnet 75
http://miragliottaapenglish.blogspot.com/2009/03/spenserian-sonnet-sonnet-75.html
Sunday, March 15, 2009. Spenserian sonnet: Sonnet 75. For my Spenserian sonnet, I chose Sonnet 75 by Edmund Spenser, an audio reading of which you can find here. One day I wrote her name upon the strand,. But came the waves and washed it away:. Again I wrote it with a second hand,. But came the tide, and made my pains his prey. Vain man, said she, that dost in vain assay. A mortal thing so to immortalize! For I myself shall like to this decay,. And eek my name be wiped out likewise. Free Verse: Messy Room.

Sunday, January 18, 2009. In what a beautiful silence the death is inflicted. My second external form poem this week is. By David Ferry, which is on page 1048 of the Norton. The interesting set-up of this poem leaves a lot of blank space on the page, which mirrors the "nothing" mentioned in the second and third lines. The way the lines are arranged makes the reader pause while speaking or reading and go through the poem slowly. At that awkward age now between birth and death. Sunday, January 11, 2009.
