They CAN'T give you the answer as you have to come up with it yourself. They want *YOUR* thoughts, not anyone else's
To answer this question, you will need to refer to your Literature textbook. If you have access to an online version of the textbook, you can click on the provided link to access it. Once you have your textbook open, locate the poems "Concrete Cat," "Haiku," and "Limerick" from Collection 3. Read and analyze each poem to understand their structure and form.
To discuss how each poem would be different with a new form, you will need to consider the characteristics and unique features of each form. For example, a "Concrete Cat" is a poem with a visual structure that represents an object, so if its form were exchanged with a "Haiku," which is traditionally a three-line poem with a syllable pattern of 5-7-5, the new form of the "Concrete Cat" might lose its visual representation and focus more on the structure of a haiku, adhering to the 5-7-5 syllable pattern.
Similarly, you would need to analyze the new form's impact on the "Haiku" and the "Limerick," considering how the change in structure would affect the message and tone of the poem. It is important to support your ideas with text evidence from the poem, referring to specific lines or stanzas that demonstrate how the form contributes to the overall meaning.
