Question

Please Help!! 20 Points. Read the poems "Will There Really be a 'Morning'" and "Ozymandias."

Answer 1

Hey there! :D

The form of a poem is the physical structure of the poem. 

In, "Will There Really Be a Morning" the physical structure of the paragraph is more in small increments of stanzas. They use this pattern to create emphasis on certain words or phrases, and the rhyme scheme. Comparatively, "Ozymandias" is in one bulk, like a paragraph. The form creates meaning in both. In the first poem, they use the rhyme scheme to keep you interested and thinking about the meaning of the poem. Like in the first group of stanzas, it says, "Could I see it from the mountains, if I were as tall as they?" It makes me think about the readers perspective. Would he understand something better if he had a different perspective? 

The second poem really likes to just jam a lot of words into your brain. Almost to the point where it is overwhelming, and I have to go back and slowly process what the poem is saying. "Half sunk a shattered visage lie, whose, frown..." It is very different from the first poem in that way. The first poem really makes things clear by separating the words and stanzas, with a regular rhyme scheme. The other poem makes it out as to almost be over the top, with many words and emotions thrown at you on purpose. It creates this distinct mood, almost as though it wants to be overpowering. 

I hope this helps!
