FORM
IN POETRY
The following passage
is actually a poem, but its original form has been changed so it no longer
looks like a poem. Read it carefully and rearrange it so that it "looks
like a poem". Do not change the wording, just the arrangement on
the page. Be prepared to offer reasons for your arrangement.
Bad
Dream
A few minutes ago you called out my name
and I found you sitting in the middle of your bed in the dark trembling.
What had stepped out of your dreams and chased you this time? “Just
a pretend bear, Daddy?” I stroke your hair, damp with sweat,
and in a moment, you’re asleep. I dread the time that’s
coming— the time when your tears can’t be kissed away
by me.
