Finding 'significance' 2

The squash club is a poem that we all relate to as we've all spent time waiting. This is a perfect example of where we can find significance within things that are just the boring in-between bits in our lives. The same could be said about the following two.

We decided to focus on The Squash Club and this is what we noticed:

  • 3 lined stanzas throughout
  • no rhyme other than "...20 cent piece in the crease of..."
  • The poem begins with a choice
  • There are senses, noticings, actions and a conversations


Read the 3 poems below and complete the SOLO Compare and Contrast hotmap.
