Songs of Ourselves Poetry Anthology TIME—Allen Curnow Songs of Ourselves Poetry Anthology “So do they the measurable world resist”

Time Try to define ‘Time’. Share your definition with the rest of your table. Compare findings—did you define ‘Time’ in a logical or scientific way, or did you use a more abstract method? What different ways can you think of measuring the passage of time? Clocks Carbon dating, tree rings, rust, wrinkles….

Subject and Tone Summarise the poem in one or two sentences. What do you think the tone of the poem is?

Imagery—The Senses SOUND SIGHT FEELING SMELL Which images relate to the senses? SOUND SIGHT FEELING SMELL

Concrete Images Concrete adj solid and real, not imaginary: able to be seen or touched because it exists in reality, not just as an idea. definite: certain and specific rather than vague or general. Which images in the poem are examples of concrete images?

Abstract Images Abstract adj not concrete: not relating to concrete objects but expressing something that can only be appreciated intellectually. theoretical: based on general principles or theories rather than on specific instances. Which images in the poem are examples of abstract images?

Imagery What examples of figurative language can you identify in the poem? What is the effect? Choose one of the images from the poem that you think is particularly interesting and plan a 30 second explanation to the rest of your table, commenting on the language used, the effect and why you chose that image.

Form Comment on the form of this poem—line length, stanza length, rhyme scheme etc… Is it constant or irregular? How might this contribute to the poem’s overall effect? Why does the poet choose to personify Time?

Feeling What aspects of time are revealed in the following phrases? ‘rust on the railway lines’ Time ages and destroys. ‘cows called to milking’ Nature governed by time as a concept. ‘nine o’clock in the morning’ Human activity shaped by scientific measurement. ‘park where the lovers were seen’ Sharing a moment in time.

Writing. How does Curnow present the concept of time in this poem? Write about 500 words and use PEEL.
