New poetry semester

This week the poem I'm doing is "Sort of a Song." This poem is suppose to sound like the structure of a song. Like it's quick and quick like the form of staccato in music which I thought was a cool tie in with the title. The poem looks like a one stanza poem but the Dash breaks the poem into two sets of six lines free verse poetry. The author is talking about an idea in writing and he is comparing it to the snake. The author is waiting to expose it just like a snake does it waits and is smooth and quiet but then strikes quick. The second set of lines is this idea in the form of a flower a gentle innocent flower that splits a rock something that's solid and thought of as impenetrable. On a structural note the word "splits" ends the fifth line breaking the sixth line off even though it was only two words. He's using all this imagery to talk about an idea he has invented is like a snake and will strike quickly while at the same time in will penetrate the must sound of believers.
