And even worse, they have virtually given up reading poems. The author believes that people can be encouraged to write a poem very easily, even if the poem is really rotten. 2. Refer to Paragraph 3. The idea is to make it easy for everyone to write at least one poem in his life. 3. Refer to Paragraphs 5?. That is a rule of thumb and the fashion of today. Unusual nouns and conflicting human senses can create profound images and feelings and a poetic atmosphere. 4. Refer to Paragraphs 10?1. When youve written a poem, it will be an accomplishment, so you may feel free to read the works of your fellow poets. You will perhaps find some inspiration from their poems and therefore continue writing your poems and for this purpose keep observing the emotions of yourself and others. 5. You can have a try anyway. IV. Explain in your own words the following sentences.1.Good poets have stopped writing poems, because there are fewer and fewer readers and fellow poets. They cannot depend on poetry writing for a living, and there is no more poetic society from which they can draw inspirations and stimulations. 2. The point of poetry is to express and record emotions. So when you read poems, you will observe the emotions of the poet and when you write your own poem, you need to observe and organize your own. Structural analysis of the text Once a person has written a poem, of whatever quality, he will feel comradeship with fellow poets and, hopefully, read their works. Ideally, there would evolve a veritable society of poet-citizens, which would elevate the quality of life worldwide. Not only that, good poets could make a living for a change. (Paragraph 3)But at least its a poem and youve written it, which is an accomplishment that relatively few people can claim. (Paragraph 10)Chances are, youll find their offerings stimulating and refreshing. You might even try writing some more of your own poems, now that youve broken the ice. Observe others emotions and experience your own - thats what poetry is all about. (Paragraph 11)Rhetorical features of the textThe last line of your poem should deal with the future in some way. (Paragraph 8) How that poem (like yours, when youre finished) is rotten. (Paragraph 10) Vocabulary exercisesI. Explain the underlined part in each sentence in your own words.1.extremely intense2.
