Sorority Community Service Letter

"THE FLASH" by Giovanni Pascoli (1855-1912)

THE LIGHTNING

The lyric poetry of Giovanni Pascoli is composed of two stanzas: the first from one direction and the second by a sestica. All the eleven-syllable verses of poetry are plans and there are six elision (and conceal; ground panting; sky space, a house off, amazed).
The metrical pattern of the poem is X ABABBX. The first three lines of the second stanza follow an alternate rhyme and the fourth and fifth a rhyming couplet. There is also a enjambement connecting the fourth and fifth line (white white house appeared in a tacit tumult suddenly disappeared).

tomorrow! Franco
