Question

Stanzas are the physical STRUCTURE of the poem. Along with its end rhyme we can tell much about a poem's structure--

End Rhyme Consists of: 1. checking the last word of each line 2. assigning that last word in each line a letter beginning with the letter (a) if the word has a similar rhyme the assign that line the same letter--if it is different in erhyme--assign it a different letter --

You can have a: quatrain (4 lines of poetry), couplet (2 lines of poetry), tercet / terza rima (3 lines), cinquain (5 lines), sestet ( 6 lines), octave (8 lines)/

Scan the following poems and assign a stanza structure to each poem--some poems may have two-three different types of structures/stanzas

Poem #1:

I'm Nobody! Who are You?

I'm nobody! Who are you? (a)
Are you nobody, too? (a)
Then there's a pair of us -don't tell! (b)
They'd banish us, you know. (c)

How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!

Answer 2

In the first stanza, the poem follows the rhyme scheme aabc. She asks the listener if he/she, too, is a Nobody. She says they can be companions, but she urges the listener not to tell anyone. She doesn’t want Nobodies to become known or famous like the Somebodies. Analysis and form: Second Stanza In the second stanza, the poem follows the rhyme scheme abcb. She uses a simile to compare between the Somebodies, who are always telling their names to everyone, to frogs who are always croaking .In this poem, the speaker is conveying how happy she is being unknown and unpopular, which is true as Emily Dickinson was not famous during her life. She prefers the privacy of being a Nobody, rather than be a Somebody, someone famous, who constantly has to tell his/her name to everyone. She likens them to frogs who are always croaking to the swamp, “telling their names."
