    Although E. E. Cummings’ poem “anyone lived in a pretty how town” emphasizes themes of independence‚ defiance‚ and love; and Robert Frost’s poem “The Road Not Taken” emphasizes themes of making choices and feeling regret; it is apparent that by analyzing the poems side by side that they both highlight the concept of being forced to choose one side or the other and the difference between the right choice and the common choice.

    The poem “A Set of Instructions To Be Used When Reading A Poem” by Glen Colquhoun is literally as what the title says‚ a set of instructions of how the author believes the reader should read a poem.

    The "One Girl at the Boys Party" uses a mathematical metaphor throughout the poem. I believe this is to portray how members of the opposite sex at a young age are as complicated as math problems to each other.
