How do you write a poetry essay? My title is 'compare the way the poets use the idea of time passing and it's effects in each of the poems'. I'm writing stuff about how the rhyme scheme in one creates the idea of time passing quickly and in the other how the rhyme sceme makes it sound like time is passing slowly because you have to read it slowly...and then stuff like, 'this poem is about...blah' and 'this other poem is about...blah'...but I'm not sure I'm doing it right...none of my points seem to relate to my title. Any pointers?? I'm not asking you to do this for me, just give me some hints on how to write a decent poetry essay (i.e. what to include?). Thanks loads!!
Another thing to think about is how the time of day is invoked. Are there sounds? Are there smells? Colors? Does it change within the poem? You make pick more than one or two poems for the whole essay because the examples will be much clearer in some poems than others. Think about where the words send you in reference to time passing. Maybe read the whole poem out loud and scribble what you are thinking during the poem.
