      This is a great source for teaching poetry to children that have a hard time grasping the concept of poetry at first glance. Personalizing it- making connections verbally as well as through illustrations makes all the difference.

    I graduated with a B.F.A. in creative writing at the University of Evansville, and poetry was always the most difficult form of writing for me to understand. However, poetry also became the most beautiful form of writing I studied once I began to understand it a little better. This particular poem was one of the first poems I read at UE that really evoked emotion from me. It's not the happiest poem (what poem about the death of a worker boy by blood loss from losing a hand could be happy?), but the most important thing to get from this poem is the feelings the narrator is trying to convey.

      There is some debate over what this question might be. Is Prufrock working up the courage to approach a woman?

      A sigh. A sad sigh? A happy sigh? I love that he doesn't say. Only the indication of the deep feeling.

    My favorite Frost poem. It's required for our students, but I often wish they would more deeply realize how much it points to their own lives, and the decisions they make.

    Although it's a well known poem, I simply had to use this particular Frost poem. It speaks to my soul. Who hasn't made decisions in life, wondering even at the time what the end result would be?

    • Heather B
      Heather B on 22 Nov 10
       
      These last four lines are my favorite poetry ever. Every time I read this stanza, I feel the emotion as fresh as I did the first time. The fanciful longing to linger over something as simple and beautiful as snow falling on woods is so evocative, and yet "the real world" interrupts every time. It's such a melancholy sentiment, and yet one that is so frequent.
  • He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow.

      Slows down from life to enjoy the world around him.

      Sherri Parker on 22 Nov 09
       
      I'm not the best with poem interpretation. But for me, I look at this last line as the poet stating that the nuzzle of the pony in her hand makes this moment such a happy one - that if this person were a flower, he would bloom right at that moment. This depicts the happiness of this special moment.
  • Sherri Parker on 22 Nov 09
     
    A poem of friendship. What do you think the last line means to you? I have shared what I think.

      Hughes describes the hardships of African Americans but at the same time expresses the strength that they have as they laugh, eat and grow strong. The future is reflected with words such as "Tommorow" and "Then."

      I always picture Walt Whitman reading his poem, then Langston Hughes reading his answer, and the Sojourner Truth rising to read, "Ain't I a Woman?" Kind of a readers' theater setting. :)
