Nelly+Myers,+A.R.+Ammons

Nelly Myers is a very captivating poem. There is a wonderful mixture of

This poem is extremely long. There are about sixteen stanzas. All the lines are in weird places and put in differently. The first line is indented. The second line is indented further. The third, fourth, and fifth line are all to the left and in parenthesis. Then the next line is indented again. I think that the author put it it like this because he wanted to show how he was thinking and when he paused. I think he wanted to find a way to combine art and poetry. There is no particular rhyme scheme in this poem. Its mostly free verse. For example: my love wide-ranging i mused with clucking hens and brought in from summer storms'at midnight the thrilled cold chicks and dried them out There is very few but still some examples of alliteration
