II. Reaction

1. Rhyme
This poem is used the rhyme. For example, I realized one line says "History" and three lines say "Poetry" are involved in rhyme. The other rhyme is six lines say "Today" and eight lines say "away".

2. Imagery
It is for me to think about this poem.  You will probably think that yesterday isn't history because I think history is too old.  But this poem will teach an important yesterday for me.
