Someone whose opinion I value greatly read that poem yesterday and commented that the switch from comical to serious seemed a bit harsh for her. This led me to think: how would the poem change if it ended with the comical "What thunderous snores..." line? Is the realization of how loud his snores must be enough of a twist at the end for the poem to feel done? Can the poem function as simply a funny take-off of a nursery rhyme?
And Question 6: Any ideas for a title? It'd be great if the title made readers think about the poem differently or see something new in it the second time around.
About Me
- Christina
- Utah, United States
- I'm an English major who loves leisure and analytical reading, creative and analytical writing, watching movies (particularly those based on books that I've read), wasting time on the internet, crocheting, and dancing. I recently interned at my university press and it was awesome! I will graduate in May 2010 with my BA and hopefully get a job writing, editing, or both. I want to be an editor at a book publisher and a writer on the side.
