Introduction to Poetry by Billy Collins I ask them to take a poem and hold it up to the light like a color slide or press an ear against its hive. I say drop a mouse into a poem and watch him probe his way out, or walk inside the poem's room and feel the walls for a light switch. I want them to water ski across the surface of a poem waving at the author's name on the shore. But all they want to do is tie the poem to a chair with rope and torture a confession out of it. They begin beating it with a hose to find out what it really means. o Who is the speaker? o Who is the author? o Who is the audience? o What is the tone? o What is the mood? o What is the theme?

Attempt to Define Poetry o Poetry is one kind of language/literary language (other kinds of language are informative and persuasive) o Poetic language is use by poets to create “significant new experiences for readers” o Readers may “ gain a greater awareness and understanding of their world”

The Eagle by Alfred, Lord Tennyson He claps the crag with crooked hands; Close to the sun in lonely lands, Ringed with the azure world, he stands. The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls; He watches from his mountain walls, And like a thunderbolt he falls.
