*Fairy**Quill* Hi Marc! Here I am again! This is a truly informative and detailed article with lots of ideas to ponder and digest. *Salute* An excellent tool to have handy for a poetry class and even a review of poetry.

The page is organized in valid thematic sections and I like the way each paragraph focusses on one aspect and gives questions to ask. They are very specific to hone in on the elements of a poem and its purpose. I like the advice about the dictionary. I always have one handy as I often find unfamiliar words. I actually use an Oxford Dictionary too. *Wink*

Your examples under Progression of a poem were interesting as I had never thought of it in those ways..eg. outer to inner etc. Sometimes I find it hard to say what I mean when commenting on a poem. I will be studying this some more as I think it will help me compose my thoughts more fully when I review. And even write poems for that matter. *Laugh*

Your experience in the last part where you say knowing the speaker may not help is so true! *Owl4* I smiled at the last line "so what?" It is a good summary for your article with the basic queries to ask.

Thanks for sharing your teachings on this skill! It is really useful. *Starstruck*
