Choose a poem you have liked in the past – one from this book or another source

Must be at least 20 lines in length (or close to it)

 Should have no sexual innuendos or immoral or illegal aspects

 Choose any of the elements of poetry this literature book mentions and apply it or them to your poem.

  Explain the literal meaning of the poem, how it applies to life in general, and what it means to you and why it means this.
