Hi, I'm a new member. I enjoy poetry and am actually a student and have to do a paper comparing some of the poems I've read...I want to compare Pound's "River Merchant's Wife", Pound's "The Gardens", and Amy Lowell's "Patterns". Actually, I wrote an analysis of the River Merchant's Wife but my teacher has set ideas...and you have to match the image/ideas she has in her head or else it isn't good enough. I was just wondering if anyone had some 'food for thought' on how the poems are similar or dissimilar, at least w/ the two Ezra Pound poems. I'm not out to plagiarize, but I am chronically ill and taught at home, so I don't have the benefit of hearing other peoples ideas. So I'd welcome any thoughts! Thanks Beth
