Question

Assess the poem below with respect to each characteristic of lyric poetry.

POEM:

Waiting

So here I sit

For more than an hour

Patiently, patiently

Under your power

You said you’d call

I said I’d wait

Time is short

The hour is late

You said you’d call

I said I’d wait

I think I made

A costly mistake.



Describe each characteristic as either matching the lyric poetry model or not. Is it single speaker?

Answer 1

it is not a lyric poem because it does not rhyme and yes because it says I. HOPEFULLY THIS IS HELPFULL
