  1. Poem project By Travis Shakoske Alysha Garrison

  2. A DREAM by Edgar Allan Poe IN visions of the dark night  I have dreamed of joy departed—But a waking dream of life and light  Hath left me broken-hearted. Ah! what is not a dream by day  To him whose eyes are castOn things around him with a ray Turned back upon the past? That holy dream—that holy dream,  While all the world were chiding,Hath cheered me as a lovely beam  A lonely spirit guiding. What though that light, thro' storm and night, So trembled from afar—What could there be more purely bright  In Truth's day-star?

  3. Summary simile- Hath cheered me as a lovely beam A lonely spirit guiding I saw that he has dreams that makes him sad and cry’s about them when he wakes up in the morning light.

  4. The black snakeby Mary Oliver When the black snake flashed onto the morning road, and the truck could not swerve-- death, that is how it happens.Now he lies looped and useless as an old bicycle tire. I stop the car and carry him into the bushes.He is as cool and gleaming as a braided whip, he is as beautiful and quiet as a dead brother.I leave him under the leavesand drive on, thinking about death: its suddenness, its terrible weight, its certain coming. Yet underreason burns a brighter fire, which the boneshave always preferred. It is the story of endless good fortune. It says to oblivion: not me!It is the light at the center of every cell.It is what sent the snake coiling and flowing forwardhappily all spring through the green leaves beforehe came to the road.

  5. Summary simile- Now he lies looped and useless as an old bicycle tire simile- He is as cool and gleaming as a braided whip simile- He is as beautiful and quiet as a dead brother We saw a morbid expression of anger and frustration.

  6. A Dream Within A Dreamby Edgar Allan Poe Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now,Thus much let me avow -- You are not wrong, who deemThat my days have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown awayIn a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none,Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seemIs but a dream within a dream.I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore,And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand --How few!  yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep,While I weep -- while I weep! O God!  can I not graspThem with a tighter clasp? O God!  can I not saveOne from the pitiless wave? Is all that we see or seemBut a dream within a dream?

  7. Summary In my opinion Edgar Allan Poe is trying to show his anger at the world at the beginning but by the end he is just happy to be alive. He also seems weak.

  8. The end
