If I remember correctly, Nigel/R-ski/You-know-who-you-are said we were going to be doing a poetry unit, or something of the likes. Just when I thought I was in the clear. Honestly, I don't know if I can handle it. Poetry is not my thing, right there with green vegetables and coffee. I didn't mind writing that one sonnet (and yes, it was about more than just the sea), but I think that's all the poetry I had in me. Deciphering the hidden meanings of a poem is like reading the directions written in Spanish on the back of my shampoo bottle. But don't fret -- I'll give it my best shot.

why would you need to read the directions on a shampoo bottle.. let alone in spanish?
I was going to ask the EXACT same thing. Maybe M isn't as bright as i THINK she is.
And: there are no "hidden" meanings in any of this--it is all in the language.
And (part two): you have more intuition with literature than you realize. You'll do fine. TRUST me.
alright everybody, it keeps me entertained, OK? and i still think there's hidden meanings...that only english-major intellectual show-offs would know.
