Pastoral Poetry
Poetry Contest
A pastoral poem explores the fantasy of withdrawing from modern life to live in an idyllic rural setting. All pastoral poetry draws on the tradition of the ancient Greek poet Theocritus, who wrote romanticized visions of shepherds living rich and fulfilled lives. Write a rhymed poem with its focus on idyllic country life that would be characterized as pastoral poetry.
For an example read: The Bait BY JOHN DONNE
