“To fully __________________ poetry, we must be fluent with his metre, ______________ and figures of speech. Then ask two _______________: One, how artfully has the ________________ of the poem been rendered, and two, how _________________ is that __________________. Question one rates the poem’s perfection, question two rates its ________________.

And once these questions have been answered, determining a poem’s ________________ becomes a relatively simple matter. If the poem’s score for perfection is plotted along the horizontal of a graph, and its importance is plotted on the vertical, then calculating the total _____________ of the poem yields the measure of its greatness. A ____________ by Byron may score high on the vertical, but only average on the horizontal. A Shakespearean sonnet, on the other hand, would score high both horizontally and vertically, yielding a massive area, thereby revealing the poem to be _________ great. As you __________________ through the poetry in this book, practice this rating method. As your ________________ to evaluate poems in this matter grows, so will your _________________ and understanding of poetry.
