use the poem that was assigned to you in this week's quiz, and investigate its form using one or more of these elements of poetic form that you feel are particularly important in this poem (you do not need to discuss them all):

rhyme

rhythm, meter, and cadence

repetition

diction and syntax

line breaks and stanza breaks

In your initial post, explain how the elements you focused on affect the way that the poem communicates its meaning to you. You may use the list of questions for analyzing poetic form in the assigned Muller and Williams chapter to get yourself started, but make sure to focus your discussion on the specific elements of form present in the poem you chose.

Please divide your posts into paragraphs for easier reading, and make sure to reference, paraphrase, or quote specific passages from the text to support and illustrate what you say (and cite the passages using MLA citation format).
