Poem Summarizations

The Ride by Richard Wilbur, uses poetical devices such as rhyming. The first line and third line rhyme, while the second and fourth line rhyme with each other in each stanza.

I believe strongly with many of their bands views and I think their music is very influencial. The poem was about a bird called a Cuckoo and the Cuckoo reminded me of two things.

The Outcast by Michelle Harris, uses repetition in lines eight and ten. Mostly when they described the trees it made me think of the natural beauty of the Willow tree and mostly just all trees. When I read this poem, it made me think of fish, seeing as trout is a type of fish, I thought of how many different species there were in the water.
