CWP

• CWP Q4: Romantic Poems (due second week of the 4th quarter). For those who would like to write and submit them to Poetry Santa Cruz Competition, please go to Google Classroom for the contest details.
• You must do two poems
1. (Blake) A voice for the voiceless
1. Write a poem that speaks on behalf of someone or some group in society who is suffering—akin to Blake's "Chimney Sweeper" poems. Remember that Blake considered the chimney sweeps the sacrificial lambs of London society.
2. (Wordsworth) My heart leaps up
1. Write a poem that celebrates the beauty of creation (Nature). It can also lament the hold that technology has on us. Or, in good Wordsworthian fashion, you can show how Nature intersects and transfigures our inventions.
• You must introduce or follow each poem with a short explanation of what the poem means (content) and how it means (literary elements/terms). You must have at least ONE literary element used and specifically identified in each poem—simile, metaphor, imagery (identify which type), paradox, personification, etc.
• GUM: you must properly punctuate your poetry, just like you would prose. Improper punctuation will cost you points. 
• Length: at least 400 words total (two poems and two introductions)
• Format: MLA (all lines double-spaced)
• Title of assignment: CWP Q4: Romantic Poems
