Example: “O Captain! My Captain!” by Walt Whitman.Slide6
O CAPTAIN! MY CAPTAIN! by Walt Whitman
O CAPTAIN! my captain! our fearful trip is done;
The ship has weathered every rack, the prize we sought is won;
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring.
But O heart! heart! heart! O the bleeding drops of red! Where on the deck my captain lies, Fallen cold and dead. O captain! my captain! rise up and hear the bells; Rise up for you the flag is flung for you the bugle trills For you bouquets and wreaths for you the shores a-crowding;
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning.
O Captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head;
It is some dream that on the deck
You’ve fallen cold and dead.
Slide7
My captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will. The ship is safe and sound, its voyage closed and done:
From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won!
Exult, O shores! and ring, O bells!
But I, with silent tread,
Walk the spot my captain lies Fallen cold and dead. Slide8

FOG
by: Carl Sandburg (1878-1967)
The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking over harbor and city on silent haunches and then moves on.

#40 ~ Emily Dickinson
She sweeps with many-colored brooms,
And leaves the shreds behind;
Oh, housewife in the evening west,
Come back, and dust the pond!
You dropped a purple raveling in,
You dropped an amber thread;
And now you’ve littered all the East
With duds of emerald!
And still she plies her spotted brooms,
And still the aprons fly,
Till brooms fade softly into stars—
And then I come away.
