Week 3



1.    An analyze of the form of Gwendolyn Brooks ``We real cool`` a number of future related to the poems form stand out. First, the number of words per sentence is 3 per sentence.

Next, the poem has 4 stanzas with 2 sentences per stanza i.e. it’s written with 4 couplets. The stanzas are closed form because they have the same amount of words per sentence and sentences per stanza.

Also, the poem has specifically end each line (except the last line) with “We”, but the rest of the sentence is in the next stanza. It is also should be noted that the author has used capitals in the middle of her sentences.

2.    2.  In B.P. Nichol “landscape: 1”, the rhythm is similar to that of a run on sentence. This poem does not rhyme. There is no stanza because a stanza is a group of two or more lines with a space, but in landscape: 1 there is only one sentence and one line. A distinct aspect of the form of this poem is the line across the bottom of the poem.
