The Dolphin
Read the following poem. Then, answer the question(s)
The poem is an example of lyric poetry
Which element in the poem best supports this statement?
O The poemn explores a theme concerning nature and freedom.
The poem concems both inner feelings and outer experiences.
I watch her swim in circles, that slock one
Trapped by clear walls, no race to be won.
She glides like soft silk through her glass home,
Free to circle round and round but not to roam
I'm left to wonder if she longs for waves,
If buckets of fish are not all she craves
I think of her truly free, and how it would be
To watch her leap waves in the sparkling sea

The speaker shares his or her thoughts and feelings, saying I.
