Read some poems by your favorite American poet. What do you think made him/her special? Choose one particular style favored by t
he poet and try writing a poem in the same style. Do you think all poets start by emulating someone else and then finding their own ‘voice’? Explain your answer.
My favorite american poet is Edgar allan poe. Something special about him is because his poems are primarily written as narrative poems, poems which tell stories in a metered verse. While his work wasn't meant to be recited or sung, he referred to many of his poems as "ballads" for their highly lyrical and dramatic quality. His well known style of gothic writing commonly used concepts of terror, mystery and the supernatural to bring fear and terror to society. Also I think that most writers will have some inspiration when they start out but after a while they will find their “voice” and their own style of writing.
Small towns contain a unique culture and people. The people of Nameless, while quite uneducated are very hospitable and friendly and anxious to share what they have with other people including selling a store if a buyer can be found.
