Select an example to write about that is NOT the poem you wrote about in Essay 1. For this paper, your focus of analysis will be on meter, syntax, and the art of the line. That is, prose poetry will not work well for this assignment as important and interesting as it is. Find something with line breaks. In the example you′ve selected, how does meter play a role in the force or impact of particular lines (it is extremely rare that it plays no roll, but if it plays no roll, then that is a bit like Sherlock Holmes′s dog that didn′t bark: interesting in and of itself)? How do line breaks play a role in the force and impact of your example? The interplay of line breaks and syntax?
