For Friday, 11/7, complete the first drafts of your "Hope" poems. These poems, inspired by Dickinson's "Hope is the Thing With Feathers," needs to present a metaphor in its opening line that will continue throughout the poem. In the Dickinson poem she likens hope to a bird and then uses the rest of the poem to explain the different ways hope is like a bird.
Your poem needs to begin with the line, "Hope is a ________________." Also, think about Dickinson's use of meter and rhyme scheme. There is a clear rhythm to her poem, almost a singsong quality. See if you can capture that as well.
Draft due Friday, 11/7
