Presentation transcript:

Genetics (p125) and Song(p168) Read both poems. How are they connected? What might be a point of comparison?

Focus for today Explore how patterning and structure can support meaning in poetry

Genetics

Vilanelle http://www.poetryfoundation.org/learning/glossary-term/villanelle

The interlacing of words and rhyme suggests the complex inheritance of genetics as revealed in the narrator’s hands. The villanelle is also a circular form, coming back in the final couplet to where it began. It forms a ring, echoing the imagery of marriage in the poem.

How does the poet use this form to explore her subject matter? What tone does the poem have? What kinds of language contribute to this and how does this relate to the subject matter? Discuss the final stanza and how it is both different from and similar to the rest of the poem.
