Another response poem

Hello Poets --
I thought we would see what happened if we all responded to one poem. The poem I've picked is John Keats's "Ode on a Grecian Urn" http://www.bartleby.com/101/625.html.
Make sure you have a dyad in mind as your write your response -- I suspect everyone will respond in his or her own special way. Hint: if you really want to understand the poem well, read it out loud -- preferably with other people around. Try to imagine who is speaking and to whom that person is speaking.
I will have all of your poems back to you on Tuesday.

Ian -- Lovely poem posted in comments below. I'm glad you're keeping up with the class and I look forward to your response poem to Keats's Ode.
Wish you were here!
