06 May HOW DOES THE LANGUAGE AND/OR STRUCTURE OF THE POEM LEND ITSELF TO THE LISTENER’S UNDERSTANDING OF THE POEM?
However, the poem begins with several oddities that suggest the speaker is saying more than what he seems to say initially. For example, the poem is an Italian sonnet and follows the abbaabbacdcdcd rhyme scheme. The fact that the poet chooses to write a sonnet about London in an Italian form suggests that what he says may not be actually praising the city. Also, the rhetoric of the first two lines seems awkward compared to a normal speaking voice: Earth has not anything to show more fair. / Dull would he be of soul who could pass by (1-2). The odd syntax continues when the poet personifies the city: This City now doth, like a garment, wear / The beauty of the morning (4-5). Here, the city wears the mornings beauty, so it is not the city but the morning that is beautiful
The Conclusion??
Though many explications have no formal concluding paragraph, for reasons of consistency and practice, I would like you to include one in your papers.
Eng 112–Poetry Explication
Please read the handout “Writing the Explication” before you begin this assignment.
For your explication, you will choose ONE of the poems we read in this unit. Your paper should be five paragraphs in length (three full pages plus a Works Cited), and it should include a clear thesis (argument) about the poem in question as well as quotations from the text and explanations that link those examples back to your central argument. Remember that your paper is an ANALYSIS of the poem and should do more than just summarize the lines of the poem.
Some topics for your paper may include:
How does the language and/or structure of the poem lend itself to the listener’s understanding of the poem?
How does the imagery of the poem contribute to or detract from the speaker’s success in telling a cohesive story?
What does the poem seem to be about and how does this meaning reveal itself over the course of the poem?
How (or how well/poorly) does the foreground of the poem (the story, or what is happening in the poem) reveal to the listener what might be happening in the background (the message) of the poem?
Please submit your explication no later than 8pm EST on Monday, 4/13.

Onions
BY WILLIAM MATTHEWS
How easily happiness begins by
dicing onions. A lump of sweet butter
slithers and swirls across the floor
of the saute pan, especially if its
errant path crosses a tiny slick
of olive oil. Then a tumble of onions.
This could mean soup or risotto
