READ:

You are to read the assigned readings for the types of poems:  "Things I Didn't Do Today," the ode poems by Frank O'Hara, and the list poems by Browning and Ashbery. 

Discuss, in detail, which poems you thought were the most powerful.  Which ones pleased you and why?  What aspects, again - using specific details - from the poems did you think helped the poems achieve their purpose?  What do you think their purposes were?

Do not just make general statements about which poems you liked without including the reasons why and provided evidence from the poems to illustrate what you think was effective.

 

POEM 1

This poem is modeled on "Today I Didn't," a poem by Terry Ehret from her book,  Lost Body.  As you can quickly see, it's a structure in which you describe  what-is by describing  what-isn't.

Today I Didn’t

Today I didn’t wake up when I felt it was a good

time.  Today I didn’t wake up in my comfortable

bed.  Today I didn’t eat what I wanted to eat.  I

didn’t go to McDonald’s and order a large orange

juice and two hash browns.  Today I didn’t smoke a

satisfying Marlboro Light.  I didn’t go to Stop-N-Go

and beg the clerk to sell me a pack of cigarettes.

Today I didn’t watch TV.  I didn’t watch X-Files

or The Simpsons.  Today I didn’t wear a nice shirt.  I

didn’t wear my favorite Gap or Polo shirt.  Today I

didn’t relax on my hammock and swing back and

forth while getting dizzy.  I didn’t listen to the radio

and find the similarity between the song and

experiences in my life.  Today I didn’t drive to the

mall.  I didn’t pick up my friends.  I didn’t even

hang out with my friends.

Today I didn’t curse out the staff.  I didn’t bother to

get upset over their demands.  I didn’t get upset

over their comments.  Today I didn’t go to Special

Class because I didn’t do any of the above, which

would cause me to go.  I didn’t sit in an isolated

room for thirteen hours.  I didn’t feel as if I were

about to die of boredom.  I didn’t throw a chair or

table due to receiving a black mark.  I didn’t get

slammed against the walls, on the floor, not even

against tables, or in better terms, get restrained.  I

didn’t get handcuffed to the door of the Special

Class.  I didn’t get hog-tied and thrown into Time

Out.  I didn’t cry out of my fury.  I didn’t cause any

problems that would have caused me to spend my

46th day in the Special Room.  Today I didn’t have a

bad day.
