1.
What feelings are suggested in lines
1-9 of the poem? How does the
poet suggest those feelings?
2.
A cicada is an insect that makes a
high-pitched, continuous sound,
usually in summer. Reread lines 10-
12. What repeated first sound or
alliteration, do you hear, and how
are the sounds connected to the
poems meaning?
3.
Does the poem meet the
requirements of an ode? Why or
why not?
Ode to enchanted light
Pablo Neruda
Cicada
Sleeping in the Forest
Mary Oliver
Reread the last sentence of the
poem. What might the speaker
mean by ‘something better”?
Reread lines 5-7. What is
compared to “a stone/on the
riverbed”? Where else does
the image appear in the
poem
?
Identify examples of each of
the elements of a lyric poem
that appear in “Sleeping in the
Forrest.” Do you think Oliver’s
poem is a good example of a
lyric poem? Why or why not?
I thought the earth
remembered me, she
took me back so tenderly, arranging
her dark skirts, her pockets
full of lichens and seeds. I slept
as never before, a stone
on the riverbed, nothing
between me and the white fire of the stars
but my thoughts, and they floated
light as moths among the branches
of the perfect trees. All night
I heard the small kingdoms breathing
around me, the insects, and the birds
who do their work in the darkness. All night
I rose and fell, as if in water, grappling
with luminous doom. By morning
I had vanished at least a dozen times
into something better.
