Sonnet
By: Billy Collins
"But hang on here while we make the turn, into the final six where all will be resolved"
This quote is saying that in a sonnet the final six lines is where everything becomes better. all problems are fixed at the end of a sonnet. Sonnets are always about a problem that someone has but towards the end of the sonnet the problems will end in someway, you need to have patience and wait for it to be over and become resolved. He's playing with the structure of the sonnet. happiness will find you.
Love at first sight
By: Jennifer Maier
"And next thing you know they are building bird houses in the garage"
I think this means that birds are like humans and how instead of having little birds, humans are having babies. When two people see eachother they know they are in love and everything after that just happens so fast. And after that happens they are most likely with eachother forever.
Highway Five Love Poem

"A dozen wise and ponderous cows suddenly spurred to run, to gallop, even down a flank of hill"
I think this is saying that all of the animals are not happy being themselves, they want to do things other animals can do that they can't. They are jealous of eachother and they want to be ableto do what others can. They feel neglected because they can't gallop or run. They want to be involved in their group. They are tired of being left out because they are different. They also don't want to be sold like the other animals.
