Your Mission (Part III): Think

I want you to think about two things. Words and Form. Whatever those two concepts mean to you, particularly in the context of poetry.

And here are a couple of related exercises to sorta get you started:

• oceanic
• "particular sophistication" vs. "particularly sophisticated"

What do you notice about the word "oceanic"? Do you like it? Do you not like it? Is it "poetic"?

How are the two phrases -- "particular sophistication" and "particularly sophisticated" -- different?

Be prepared to talk about this when I get back.
