Its quite simple, choose a poet, choose one of their poems, do a bio, and then your interpretation on the poem.
But i'm no english scholar, me no understand most of these poems.

: home they brought her warrior dead .....

I don't know much about Robert Frost's life, but The Road Not Taken could possible give you a good opportunity to tie the bio and interpretation together. Also, the poem itself is pretty straight foward.

Jim Morrison! If you gotta write about poetry, might as well write about someone cool. And all his poetry is about being high, so the explanations are simple.

Charles Bukowski

=(, not on poets.org

<< Charles Bukowski >>

Excellent choice, KaBudokan! Most know him only as the drunken reprobate who wrote the "Notes Of A Dirty Old Man" column in the LA Free Press, but he was a true American poet!! One of his volumes was entitled, "These Days Run Away Like Wild Horses Over The Hill".



<< Jim Morrison! . . . all his poetry is about being high, so the explanations are simple. >>

Not ture at all, JeffSpicoli. Jim Morrison was a singular song writer and a decent, interesting poet. I consider it an honor that one of my poems was published in the same small LA poetry journal, "The Sunset Palms Motel" with Morrison in 1974.
