Begin this week's discussion by choosing one of the assigned poems that most resonated with you. In your main post, provide the title of the poem you've chosen; then, after reviewing the Online Learning Resource "How to Analyze a Poem," write a brief summary; in no more than three sentences, identify the basic content/situation of the poem. Next, identify and discuss at least two specific elements of the poem that stood out for you, and why: for example, its speaker, setting, tone, imagery, word choice, rhythm, etc. Finally, explain why your chosen poem resonated with you on a personal level, and tie its meaning to a personal observation or experience.
