“Foul Shot”“Foul Shot”

With two 60s stuck on the scoreboardAnd two seconds hanging on the clock,The solemn boy in the center of eyes,

Squeezed by silence,Seeks out the line with his feet,

Soothes his hands along his uniform,Gently drums the ball against the floor,

Then measures the waiting net,Raises the ball on his right hand,

Balances it with his left,10Calms it with fingertips,

Breathes,Crouches,

Waits,And then through a stretching of stillness,

Nudges it upward.The ball

Slides up and out,Lands,

Leans,20Wobbles,Wavers,

Hesitates,Exasperates,Plays it coy25

Until every face begs with unsounding screams—And thenAnd thenAnd then,

Right before ROAR-UP,30Dives down and through.

“Base Stealer”“Base Stealer”

Poised between going on and back, pulledBoth ways taut like a tightrope-walker,

Fingertips pointing the opposites,Now bouncing tiptoe like a dropped ball

Or a kid skipping rope, come on, come on,Running a scattering of steps sidewise,How he teeters, skitters, tingles, teases,Taunts them, hovers like an ecstatic bird,He's only flirting, crowd him, crowd him,Delicate, delicate, delicate, delicate - now

Happy Tuesday! BW: Working with Syntax

Consider: He had been prepared to lie, to bluster, to remain sullenly unresponsive; but, reassured by the good-humored intelligence of the Controller’s face, he decided to tell the truth, straightforwardly.

~ Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

Discuss: 1) What effect does the repetition of infinitives (to lie, to bluster…) have on the meaning of the sentence?

2) What is the function of the semicolon in Huxley’s second sentence?

Apply:Fill in the sentence skeleton:

The teen had been allowed to ________, to _______, to ________; but, reassured by _________________, the teen _____________ ______________________________________.

“Virtue” (excerpt)

Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so bright

The bridal of the earth and sky:

The dew shall weep thy fall tonight,

For thou must die.

Sweet rose, whose hue, angry and

brave,

Bids the rash gazer wipe his eyes:

Thy root is ever in its grave,

And thou must die.

“The Congo” (excerpt)

THEN I SAW THE CONGO,

CREEPING THROUGH THE BLACK,

CUTTING THROUGH THE FOREST

WITH A GOLDEN TRACK.

“The Hound” (excerpt)

Life the hound

Equivocal

Comes at a bound

Either to rend me

Or befriend me

I cannot tell

Working with Poetic Meter: The Sonnet

(Sonnet 18; W. Shakespeare)Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate.

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

And summer's lease hath all too short a date.

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,

And often is his gold complexion dimmed;

And every fair from fair sometime declines,

By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimmed;

But thy eternal summer shall not fade,

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,

Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade,

When in eternal lines to Time thou grow'st.

So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,

So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Happy Wednesday! BW: Working with Tone

Consider: (“Cut: For Susan O’Neil Roe” ~ Sylvia Plath)

What a thrill- My thumb instead of an onion The top quite gone Except for a sort of hinge

Of skin, A flap like a hat, dead white, Then a red plush.

Discuss:What is the poet’s attitude toward the cut? What words, images and details create the tone?

Apply:

Think of a time when you hurt yourself…did you have the same reaction as in Plath’s poem? Describe!

The Children’s March: ContextGenerating Context:

• Read the narrative poem “Ballad of Birmingham”

• Watch & Analyze “The Children’s March”

• Reread “Ballad of Birmingham”

• Discuss

“Ballad of Birmingham”(On the bombing of a church in Birmingham, Alabama, 1963)

“Mother dear, may I go downtown Instead of out to play, And march the streets of Birmingham In a Freedom March today?”

“No, baby, no, you may not go, For the dogs are fierce and wild, And clubs and hoses, guns and jails Aren’t good for a little child.”

“But, mother, I won’t be alone. Other children will go with me, And march the streets of Birmingham To make our country free.”

“No, baby, no, you may not go, For I fear those guns will fire. But you may go to church instead And sing in the children’s choir.”

“No, baby, no, you may not go, For I fear those guns will fire. But you may go to church instead And sing in the children’s choir.”

She has combed and brushed her night-dark hair, And bathed rose petal sweet, And drawn white gloves on her small brown hands, And white shoes on her feet.

The mother smiled to know her child Was in the sacred place, But that smile was the last smile To come upon her face.

For when she heard the explosion, Her eyes grew wet and wild. She raced through the streets of Birmingham Calling for her child.

She clawed through bits of glass and brick, Then lifted out a shoe. “O, here’s the shoe my baby wore, But, baby, where are you?”
