Song of sort uses a metaphor to make the poet a snake. The snake waits in the weeds, like a poet brain storming, when the snake strikes the poet is has a moment of inspiration. “No ideas but in things” like the snake all ideas come from the tangible world. The poem has no rhyme scheme, and uses very simple words. The poem is made of two quatrains that are Sestets.

shelby i love how you noted the poetic terms that we recently learned such as "quatrains and sestes".
ReplyDeletealso when you commented on the metaphor with the poet and the snake. :)
