Answer:

Chosen poem: Because I could not stop for Death by Emily Dickinson.

<em>Because I could not stop for Death – </em>

<em>He kindly stopped for me – </em>

<em>The Carriage held but just Ourselves – </em>

<em>And Immortality. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>We slowly drove – He knew no haste </em>

<em>And I had put away </em>

<em>My labor and my leisure too, </em>

<em>For His Civility – </em>

<em> </em>

<em>We passed the School, where Children strove </em>

<em>At Recess – in the Ring – </em>

<em>We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain – </em>

<em>We passed the Setting Sun – </em>

<em> </em>

<em>Or rather – He passed Us – </em>

<em>The Dews drew quivering and Chill – </em>

<em>For only Gossamer, my Gown – </em>

<em>My Tippet – only Tulle – </em>

<em> </em>

<em>We paused before a House that seemed </em>

<em>A Swelling of the Ground – </em>

<em>The Roof was scarcely visible – </em>

<em>The Cornice – in the Ground – </em>

<em> </em>

<em>Since then – 'tis Centuries – and yet </em>

<em>Feels shorter than the Day </em>

<em>I first surmised the Horses' Heads </em>

<em>Were toward Eternity – </em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

As we know, one of the characteristics of modernist poetry is free verse, so I will rewrite the poem in a modern and free verse form:

<em>Because I could not find death </em>

<em>He came looking for me </em>

<em>In the carriage it was just the two of us </em>

<em>And immortality </em>

<em>The road was slow, without rushing to death </em>

<em>I abandoned my pleasures and my work to respect his chivalry </em>

<em>We passed a school, where there were children playing </em>

<em>We go through fields of crops and the sunset </em>

<em>Or rather, the sunset passed over us </em>

<em>Dew formed and began to get cold </em>

<em>And I was only wearing a dress and a cape made of tulle </em>

<em>We stood in front of a home that was actually a grave on the ground </em>

<em>I could barely see the ceiling </em>

<em>Centuries have passed and time continues to pass </em>

<em>It seems like a short time from the day </em>

<em>I realized that those horses carried me into eternity</em>
