“Mooses” The poem “Mooses”‚ by Ted Hughes‚ is about two mooses that find themselves ugly and not attractive. But my thesis is‚ mooses are large mentally challenged animals.

And in this case‚ the author thinks that the mooses’

Elizabeth Bishop"’"s ’"’The Moose’"’ is a narrative poem of 168 lines. Its twenty-eight six-line stanzas are not rigidly structured. Lines vary in length from four to eight syllables‚ but those of five or six syllables predominate. The pattern of stresses is lax enough almost to blur the distinction between verse and prose; the rhythm is that of a low-keyed speaking voice hovering over the descriptive details. The eyewitness account is meticulous and restrained. The poem concerns a bus traveling
