    You'd be surprised how complicated some people can make this. I'm glad you can make it very clear.

    Sir you are a genius. I've been reading from my textbook(it was a peice of junk which I gladly threw away) about prosody, metre for the past 2 weeks and I can't even understand a single thing it says. Today I found your video and voilà it became like a clear blue sky. Thank you so much.

    Octameter ..."You probably know '-octa' from octopus." There may be a more condescending thing to say to a group of people who are actively interested in the the terminology of poetry in literature. I can't think of one, so kudos.
    You may know the letter "P", as in pig. Here, we mean "P" is for pretentious.

    Sometimes I wish I'd never even started looking into writing poetry. How do you even begin to wield this and still produce comprehensible sentences? I feel like I stand before a Gordian knot, and all I have to do is pick up a sword that is 147 feet long that weighs five tons to cut it.

      Hello, Yahya MF! Although I do teach college courses about educational technology, I really can't call myself a "professor"-level expert in English Literature. I made the two videos about poetry for my high school EFL classes and then shared them online.
      Nevertheless, if I can help you with your questions, then I would be happy to do so.

      Thank you so much, teacher. I am Yahya from Morocco, I have exam of Guided reading tomorrow, 11/09/2019. Need to know the template of analysis of poem, I mean do I have to make the subject first(what is the title and who is the poet..) Than 2 theme then 3 tone then 4 figurative of language, then the form as a step 5?
      And my second question, is the Imagery type of analysis of poem or it is one of elements of figurative language?
      Thank again teacher.

    • @drjamesbacker
      @drjamesbacker  5 років тому +1

      @@elyahyaoui8347 There are many ways to analyze a poem. I suggest asking your English Literature instructor what your college expects.
      Imagery is one of the many elements of figurative language. Examining it can help you analyze a poem.
      Good luck on the exam.
