4-Lesson Assignment
The poem by Jack Gilbert, "Failing and Flying," is written in free verse. It also contains several instances of "enjambment." This is a literary term for the idea that when you are reading a poem and you get to the end of a line of poetry, you do not pause if there is no punctuation. Go back to the poem and see the instances of this in lines 3 - 7:

or the marriage fails and people say

they knew it was a mistake, that everybody

said it would never work. That she was

old enough to know better. But anything

worth doing is worth doing badly.

How does the poet's use of this technique and his choice to write in free verse affect the tone of the poem? Remember, the tone is the way the author feels about the subject or the audience of the poem.
