How would I re-write this poem using the language of today?
Along with Youth A porcupine skin, Stiff with bad tanning, It must have ended somewhere. Stuffed horned owl Pompous Yellow eyed; Chuck‐wills‐widow on a biassed twig Sooted with dust. Piles of old magazines, Drawers of boy's letters And the line of love They must have ended somewhere. Yesterday's Tribune is gone Along with youth And the canoe that went to pieces on the beach The year of the big storm When the hotel burned down At Seney, Michigan. ‐Ernest Hemingway
pompous, biassed, sooted, and tribune are probably the words you should change.
So all I need to do is change the words, not the entire thing?
No most likely your teacher will want you to change some of it.
Well thank you. I appreciate the help.
I got you if you need anymore help.
