Isolation

Need to discuss THREE poems. After you’ve read each poem, respond to the discussion thread for the corresponding poem. What do you believe the poem is about?  What does the poet specifically do to communicate this idea?  The more precise and in-depth you can be in your discussions, the better. For example, don’t just say the poem is about “love” or “death” or “isolation.” Instead, tell us what the poem is saying ABOUT “love” or “death” or “isolation.   Next, you need to respond to TWO postings by your classmates–make sure they are on poems you didn’t post on originally. (There is no word count for your responses, but a mere “I agree!” will not count as a complete response. Engage with their ideas.)
