Autumn -Joan Mitchell
The rusty leaves crunch and crackle,
Blue haze hangs from the dimmed sky,
The fields are matted with sun-tanned stalks —
Wind rushes by.
The last red berries hang from the thorn-tree,
The last red leaves fall to the ground.
Bleakness, through the trees and bushes,
Comes without sound.
Slide 9 - Slide
Stanza Division
A stanza is a group of lines followed by a space.
Are the stanzas related to one another?
Streemin
Im in the botom streme
Which meens Im not brigth
Don't like reedin
Cant hardly ryt
But all these divishns
Arnt reely fair
Look at the cemetery
No streemin there
