List three features of a lyric poem. Explain how "Song Concerning a Dream of the Thunderbirds" uses each feature.

Answer and Explanation:

The main characteristics of lyric poetry are subjectivity and the exploration of the speaker's deep feelings and emotions. Subjectivity is approached through the speaker's imagination and his ability to present the world in a figurative but profound and extremely poetic way. We can see an example of this in the following stanza of "Song Concerning a Dream of the Thunderbirds":

"Friends, behold!

In a sacred manner

I have been influenced

At the gathering of the clouds.

Sacred I have been made."

The speaker is excited and happy, inviting friends to participate in his view of what is sacred, subjectively, but profoundly.
