Tone and Imagery

Poems make the kind of observations that lead to revelations hidden in plain sight.

While listening and reading along, make an interesting obersvation about the poem's style, use of language/ poetic devices/ theme. In other words, what stands out to you about this poem and why? Write down your response (free-style, yo).

For the stanza you are given, ask yourself the following:
1.      What is the overall image?
2.      Beyond the actual things being described, what might the images represent?
3.      Why this image: how does it relate to the main idea of the poem?
