RECAP
Today, let us talk about analyzing a poem in terms of its elements like
rhymes, sound devices, imagery, and figurative language. Let us read the
poem, I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud. Then let’s talk about every element
that characterizes a poem.
I wandered lonely as a cloud The waves beside the danced, but they
That floats on high o’er vales and hills, Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
When all at once I saw a crowd, A poet could not but be gay,
A host of golden daffodils; In such a jocund company:
Beside the lake, beneath the trees, I gazed – and gazed – but little thought
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze What wealth the show to me had brought:
Continuous as the starts that shine For oft, when on my couch I lie
And twinkle on the Milky Way, In vacant or in pensive mood,
They stretched in never-ending line They flash upon that inward eye
Along the margin of a bay: Which is the bliss of solitude,
Ten thousand saw I at a glance, And then my heart with pleasure fills,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. And dances with the daffodils.
Guided Practice
Let’s do the remaining stanzas. Pick out the rhyming words in the poem.
Identify the rhyme pattern.
The rhyme pattern is ABABCC, and the words that rhyme are shine-
line, way-bay, and glance-dance.
Sound devices are special tools the poet can use to create certain effects in
the poem to convey and reinforce meaning through words.
If you see or imagine a cloud floating over valleys and hills you have
successfully formed imagery based on the line.
Now, underline the words that made you “see” what was described in the
following lines.
What feeling do they evoke you?
The sea was wet as wet could be,
The sands were dry as dry.
You could not see a cloud, because
No cloud was in the sky:
No birds were flying overhead –
There were no birds to fly.
(from The Walrus and The Carpenter by Lewis Carroll)
