William Wordsworth wrote that "all good poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings." Based on what you have learned in this lesson, do you agree with this definition? Why or why not?
Next, think of a poem that you’ve read that you found particularly meaningful. It can be one of the poems from this unit or one that you’ve read on your own. Does that poem fit with Wordsworth’s definition of good poetry? Why or why not?

Finally, keeping the poem you selected in mind, consider whether you believe that poetry has the power to change your perspective. Using examples from the poem you selected and/or from the poems in the unit, explain and defend your point of view.
