write a critical analysis of “Merging Dreams of Lovers with Leftover Pizza.” This assignment asks you to do a close critical reading where you argue your interpretation of the poem, drawing on poetic elements to support your position. Poetic elements include literal and figurative images (metaphor, simile, symbol, etc.), speaker, rhyme (alliteration, consonance, etc), repetition, tone and meter (rhythm), line breaks, enjambment, caesurae.
You may use your text & the handout on things to consider when reading a poem. You may research any reference or allusion within the poem. But do not research other analyses or opinions of the poem.
Now, in a well-developed essay that draws on the convention of formal essays (introductory paragraph with specific thesis, developed body paragraphs with topic sentences, a concluding paragraph that does more than summarize), analyze this poem.
When quoting, remember to be selective. Rule of thumb: 1. Introduce the quotation 2. Quote 3. Paraphrase the quotation 4. Tie the quotation’s significance back to thesis.
This is the poem:
Merging Dreams of Lovers with Leftover Pizza
Our dreams are simple. Mid-mornings across the black ?
Formica counter. The Times ?
spread like sunlight over slices of cold pizza I serve ?
on paper plates. ? ?
Me in my spa robe, you inside it. The tender hours. ?
No need to practice
worse-case scenarios. Or hide behind the spill ?
of Mahler’s Fifth ? ?
sudden & shifting between emptied rooms. ?
Oh, to live not like Mahler, but a symphony! ?
Like the world, embracing ?
everything. ? ?
Learning how to rejoice in the cacophony. Like trombones ?
sliding inside pianos. The wordless hours. ?
Your lips buzzing into a mouthpiece. The vibration ?
of hammers ?
and strings. My fingers like children on sea-saws, bouncing ?
through the notes—tethered to the sound of a G ?
stretching into itself. I am here, ?
as always. ? ?
Looking into a bruised eye like a peephole?
with something more ferocious than love. Maybe this ?
time we don’t fall after all–and love is not destined ?
to deteriorate.? ?
The future fluid and connected like dreams or Great Lakes, ?
only far less dramatic. Like water evaporating and falling ?
as rain over Boston. As snow over Maine. Forever merging ?
with the salt of the Atlantic.
