In the introduction to my analysis I will introduce the poem I am looking at, Ars Poetica by Archibald Macleish. I will be proving that this poem is a line of reasoning showing that a poem is a being just like you and me. My working thesis is, although many students of poetry see it as lifeless and dull, Macleish compares the tangible and the abstract to show that poetry is a live and impactful.

In this section I will be disusing the thought process of a poem having a certain impact on readers and how poetry seems to come to life for many. Although poetry is words arraigned in a very specific order, these words have deep meaning in the hearts of millions of readers.   

The next section I will use to address the comparisons made to of tangible and abstract objects to show that a poem has amazing depth. All living things have an element of seen and unseen forces that make up what and who they are this is no different for poetry. 

In conclusion we see that poetry has a life all its own and has amazing power to impact us the way that other beings around has do.
