No Rhyme (No Time). No Crime!

Listen to This podcast on the role of poetry today.

It says its 54 minutes but you only have to listen to the first 23 minutes (the interview with Billy Collins).

We will revisit part of this podcast another day but for tonight, answer the following questions:

1. How does Michael Enright define poetry?
2. When does Billy Collins say people turn to poetry?
3. When does poetry speak best?
4. How did you personally like the poem "Morning"?
5. Do you think poetry is best defined as "words that don't go to the end of the page"?
6. Why did poems used to have a rhyme scheme and fixed meter?
7. Is poetry difficult because people don't read it OR do people not read poetry because it's difficult?
8. Write a statement about poetry.

Hey Guys, I am finding a hard time finding this interview online so if and when I do, I will update you. For now, nothing further from me.

The Pedestrian by Ray Bradbury

Tonight read a story that's science fiction.

It's easy to understand and so is the diction.

It's about the future, but maybe it's now (?)

About doing the things society doesn't allow.

Identify a metaphor that you loved to see

And answer number one, but not one-B.
