class

I have to give a speech in class, any topic of my choice, and I was trying to think of some home tying my love of poetry into it. Maybe contrasing two poets, or something, even analyzing a poets particular style? Any ideas?

you could give a speech comparing the poetry of one period to another.

e.g. you could compare ginsberg's "america" to poe's "The Raven" and discuss the possible social and cultural differences that allowed for such different types of work to exist within the same county just 100 years apart.

I was in you spot once. We had to write an end of the year paper to show how much we'd leanred. I wrote about poetry. I said what kinds of poems I wrote, alot about this website, and about who I wrote for and why. The class loved it, and it was the best paper I'd written all year.

Epics and Haiku

fact and fiction....
