To great works readers,
if you like poetry then
you’ve found the right class.

If poetry is
the bane of your existence,
we’re on the same page.

But worry not, this
course focuses on better
understanding of

the bigger picture.
You’ll learn about poetic
Writers, rhetoric,

symbols, and how all
this connects to politics.
One such great work is,

To Rosevelt by
Ruben Dario, where he
makes political

comments to US
President Roosevelt on
expanding westward.

This short poem holds
Many symbols which readers
Will find easy to

Understand. I for
One loved the simple sentence
structure, short reading

and understood the
political message loud
and clear. I believe

future readers will
Appreciate a poem
With themes like this one.
