Poetic Conversation
In “Tintern Abbey,” Wordsworth explores a form he and Coleridge termed the “conversation poem.” The conversation poem is usually a deeply personal meditation, seemingly spoken to a silent listener or to a loved one who is absent or asleep.
Imagine that you have been away from a special place that holds many memories for you. Write a brief conversation poem in blank verse in which you tell someone else how you feel as you return to this place for the first time in five years.
Use a conversational tone.
