Answer:
In short, what makes a poem a poem is the ability to make the reader feel something. ... If it's a serious or depressing poem, the language should reflect that. If it's a poem about how long something should take, the words should not be short and move wuickly over the tongue.
Answer and Explanation:
"Islands and Icebergs" by Ralph Semino Galan is a poem about reading a poem. <u>The speaker asks readers to imagine the paper as being the ocean and the words to be floating on the that ocean. That is a clue as to why he writes three lines per stanza. The length of the lines, along with their number, reminds us of the waves, even the foam, to floats up and down, back and forth, on the ocean. The author wrote three lines per stanza as a way to make the poem itself resemble an ocean, instead of simply asking as to imagine it.</u>
