HW:

Neatly answer on loose leaf.

Please restate and use complete sentences in your answers.

BUT FIRST READ THE POEM!

 

1 – How is a bird different on the ground than when she’s flying?

 

2 – What do you notice about the shape of the poem?

 

3 – Which stanza (section) of the poem has rhyming words?  What are the three rhyming words?

 

4 – How could you change the poem to include alliteration?

 

5 – What is “delirium”?

 

6 – What do you think this poem is about?

 

 

HINT: If you CAN, you SHOULD print the poem then annotate it.

If your printer is broken or is out of ink, etc. then it’s ok.

I have no idea if you can print or not.  I’m trusting you to be honest.
