Question:

What is a good poem to explicate?

I need to write a poetry explication and am finding it difficult to find a poem. I'm not good at analyzing poems, so I need it to be easy, but I also need to get five pages out of it. Any suggestions?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Try "Psalm of Life" by Longfellow. It has a lot of stanzas, he uses a lot of literary devices, and the meaning is pretty clear.
