Your poems should be a minimum of 20 lines and should reflect an inspection of the world or an inspection of the interior issues. You can set the poem in the time period or you can fast forward the subject to the modern world.
In "Song of Myself" and "I Hear America Singing," Walt Whitman presents a sense of who is he and what the world presents to him. He is out exploring the world. Emily Dickinson, the famous recluse, lived a rather isolated life, and thus, her poetry reflects an inspection of her interior in "This is my letter to the World" and "Because I could not stop for Death." Both of these poets reflect a break with the prior poetic conventions; however, they do not merely disregard the rules but craft poems which do pay tribute to rhythm, to rhyme, to imagery, to word choice.
