I have a poetry assignment for drama. I am supposed to find a poem written by a some what known poet. Can you help? Oh, and it needs to be more than 6 lines, but less than 12.
Anything... I was thinking about inspirational or a bit sad. You see, we need to perform it, which means feeling and whatnot. So yeah...
Where are you from? Im studying some poems in my English class but it depends on what country your from since some of the poets might not be known in other countries.
As long as it is english I am fine. I am just saying the author can't be some random person on the internet...
Theres 'Tichborne's Elegy' 1586, this is more than 12 but its sad. http://www.mcs.drexel.edu/~gbrandal/Ill ... elegy.html Charles Tichborne wasn't really a poet but he wrote it before he was going to be executed, and its in the curriculum. Heres 'The Eagle' written by Alfred Tennyson in 1851. Its 6 lines so it fits in. http://www.online-literature.com/tennyson/715/
Yeah, and the drama teacher said we need to understand it somewhat. I am not really getting the Eagle, and sadly the other one is a bit long.
Well the idea of the poem is that hes trying to express the power and how majestic the eagle is. It compares the eagle to a human by saying "crooked hands" and how its a predator with no prey like humans. Heres another poemits 12 lines and i know more about this poem also, but wikipedia does a good job of it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_My_First_Sonne
lol yeah thats pre-1914 poetry. This one is 14 lines its about trying to love yourself after like a break up from someone you love. Have a look see if its any good. http://judithpordon.tripod.com/poetry/d ... _love.html
I really like it! Too bad it is to long... you know, it is fine. I ca try to look myself, you have helped alot.
Easily searchable on Google ^^ That's where I completed most of my poetry assignments in my day, since I'm not a poet
/ Do you have to search for one written by a poet? or do you have to write one of your own? Do not gravedig. L_scorpio
