THE WRITING AND STUDY OF POETRY

Foetry is an appreciation. rather than a science course. and scien- tific methods cannot be used. Tile teaching of poetry deals with the emotions. the most sensitive port of s student's life. The creation of thb appreciation consists of three steps: (1) Recognition of beauty. (2) the capturing of that

beauty in a comparison that is q clear and accurate. and (3) the 8T‘:

Dression of that comps-risen

vivid and lovely diction. The cros- tlcn of poetry cannot be taught but the lotion and enjoy- ment of wri ten poetry may be dc- veloped. Therefore. teach poetry. and lots of it. not only for the sake o! the one person who may llloaon-l into genius. but for the sake of stlnlulati poetic appreci- ation in all. Give attention to the rhythm, imagery. and tone colour. Show students that rhythm is everywhere in nature (cg. in wave

action.) Timeliness is an unpert-

ant factor in the study of poetry. Aft Armistice time. study Jolm Me-
