Seventh Reading

Mackenzie Greeley and I have gone over three poems in the English Augustan Movement. "Epitaph on Sir Isaac Newton" by Alexander Pope, "The Rape of the Lock" by Alexander Pope, and "Marriage A-La-Mode" by John Dryden. After reading these poems seven times the only difference I've found is that I have a better understanding of what I belief is being said and have been able to take things like the meter and rhyming scheme being used into consideration. Apart from that... I'm still lost on the subject of poetry.
