· a man and woman are fighting about whether to discipline their children
· the poet loves a woman very much, but she has recently died, and he feels regret for never telling her of his love
Response Question Two (cont’d)
Language: This section deals with - - Word Choice and Order:
In the poem “My Papa’s Waltz,” page 825, the word choice is extremely important. Many people read the poem and think that it is a poem about a young boy having a wonderful time dancing with his father. Others read it as child abuse. What is your opinion, and what words specifically made you think that way?
RITA DOVE
Daystar
She wanted a little room for thinking:
but she saw diapers steaming on the line,
a doll slumped behind the door.
So she lugged a chair behind the garage
5 to sit out the children’s naps.
Sometimes there were things to watch—
the pinched armor of a vanished cricket,
a floating maple leaf. Other days
she stared until she was assured
10 when she closed her eyes
she’d see only her own vivid blood.
She had an hour, at best, before Liza appeared
pouting from the top of the stairs.
And just what was mother doing
15 out back with the field mice? Why,
building a palace. Later
that night when Thomas rolled over and
lurched into her, she would open her eyes and think of the place that was hers
20 for an hour—where
she was nothing,
pure nothing, in the middle of the day.
RICHARD WILBUR
The Beautiful Changes
One wading a Fall meadow finds on all sides
The Queen Anne’s Lace1 lying like lilies
On water; it glides
So from the walker, it turns
5 Dry grass to a lake, as the slightest shade of you
Valleys my mind in fabulous blue Lucernes.2
The beautiful changes as a forest is changed
By a chameleon’s tuning his skin to it;
As a mantis, arranged
10 On a green leaf, grows
Into it, makes the leaf leafier, and proves
Any greenness is deeper than anyone knows.
Your hands hold roses always in a way that say ...
