Tonight you must find a poem that you feel comfortable enough to analyze within a formal essay.  Try to find a poem which has many figures of speech (simile, metaphor, personification etc.).  Being able to identify rhyme scheme, meter will also help you with your assignment. 

If you bring the original copy, then I will provide 2 copies of the poem tomorrow.  Remember to return your Inside Poetry text.
