"In a Station of the Metro" by Ezra Pound The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
Petals on a wet, black bough.
List the descriptive words in the poem which help you visualize the setting.

In Ezra Pound’s short two-lined poem, he depicts the dreary scene of a busy metro station. Pound’s deliberate choice of words such as wet and dark builds on this cheerless setting. The word apparition suggests that glimpses of people at the station are fleeting and always changing, creating a tone of unpredictability or even unreliability. The unusual structure of the poem forces a blending of two separate thoughts: the abrupt presence of passengers and petals on a tree. As the passengers come and go from the station, their faces begin to resemble petals on a dark and dreary bough.

- " in poetry, one of the best ways to practice technique is to write in. i want all to be unstressed so that “all the clocks” and “in the night” are matching anapests. many forms that sharpen skills are useful in free verse."
