Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Didactics - English - Literature, Works, grade: A-, , language: English, abstract: Poetry, unfortunately, is often misunderstood as a collection of words splattered on a piece of paper forcing the reader to navigate through unfamiliar language landmarks such as stanzas, rhyming couplets and figurative language. However, Glen Colquhoun’s free verse poem, A Set of Instructions to be Used When Reading a Poem, effectively constructs a reader friendly poem with a hidden meaning on how to live life bountifully. More specifically, by analyzing Colquhoun’s use of structure and tropology it is evident that the poem’s underlying insight is to live life to its maximum disguised within its obvious list of instructions.
