WHAT IS POETRY?

What is poetry? What is a poem? 1. Working independently, please develop a definition for the word “poem.” 2. Turn to a neighbor and share your definition—collaborate to create a new and improved definition.

Webster's Dictionary: 1. A composition designed to convey a vivid and imaginative sense of experience, esp. by the use of condensed language chosen for its sound and suggestive power as well as for its meaning and by the use of such literary techniques as structured meter, natural cadences, rhyme or metaphor 2. A composition in verse rather than in prose 3. A literary composition written with an intensity or beauty of language more characteristic of poetry than prose

Like, Totally, Whatever by Taylor Mali In case you hadn't noticed, it has somehow become uncool to sound like you know what you're talking about? Or believe strongly in what you're saying? Invisible question marks and parenthetical (you know?)'s have been attaching themselves to the ends of our sentences? Even when those sentences aren't, like, questions? You know?

Declarative sentences - so-called because they used to, like, DECLARE things to be true as opposed to other things which were, like, not - have been infected by a totally hip and tragically cool interrogative tone? You know? Like, don't think I'm uncool just because I've noticed this; this is just like the word on the street, you know? It's like what I've heard? I have nothing personally invested in my own opinions, okay? I'm just inviting you to join me in my uncertainty?

What has happened to our conviction? Where are the limbs out on which we once walked? Have they been, like, chopped down with the rest of the rain forest? Or do we have, like, nothing to say? Has society become so, like, totally... I mean absolutely... You know? That we've just gotten to the point where it's just, like... whatever!

I entreat you, I implore you, I exhort you, I challenge you: To speak with conviction. To say what you believe in a manner that bespeaks the determination with which you believe it. Because contrary to the wisdom of the bumper sticker, it is not enough these days to simply QUESTION AUTHORITY. You have to speak with it, too.

Poetry Week! We will be looking at poetry in this week before Spring Break. Tomorrow you will read many different poems, and be asked to respond to them in writing. You will eventually choose one poem to be “yours” this week, and you will work closely with it. This unit will conclude on Friday, so there will be no homework over the break.
