Answer 5

To match the category of poetry with the provided excerpt, let's break down the lines:

1. "Dove-twirl in the tall grass." - This can be interpreted as describing a specific location or scene, but it feels more connected to nature.

2. "End-of-summer glaze next door" - This also suggests a location and observes the change of seasons, relating to place and nature.

3. "On the gloves and split ends of the conked magnolia tree." - This strongly resonates with nature, as it describes a specific tree.

4. "Work sounds: truck back-up-beep, wood tin-hammer, cicada, fire horn." - This evokes a sense of place through the sounds and activities happening.

Given these analyses:

• Poetry of Place focuses on specific locations and settings.
• Poetry of Nature emphasizes the natural world and its elements.
• Poetry of Spirit typically addresses deeper emotional or spiritual themes.
• Poetry of Family often explores relationships and familial bonds.

Based on the excerpts, here’s a likely matching:

1. Dove-twirl in the tall grass. - Likely Poetry of Nature
2. End-of-summer glaze next door - Likely Poetry of Place
3. On the gloves and split ends of the conked magnolia tree. - Likely Poetry of Nature
4. Work sounds: truck back-up-beep, wood tin-hammer, cicada, fire horn. - Likely Poetry of Place

However, since we are limited to matching one fragment with one category only and the excerpts you provided seem to represent both nature and place, here is a suggestion:

• Poetry of Nature: "Dove-twirl in the tall grass." (A)
• Poetry of Place: "Work sounds: truck back-up-beep, wood tin-hammer, cicada, fire horn." (B)
• Poetry of Nature: “On the gloves and split ends of the conked magnolia tree." (C)
• No specific excerpt for: Poetry of Spirit, Poetry of Family.

To summarize in clear responses:

• A: Dove-twirl in the tall grass. - C (Poetry of Nature)
• B: End-of-summer glaze next door - A (Poetry of Place)
• C: On the gloves and split ends of the conked magnolia tree. - C (Poetry of Nature)
• D: Work sounds: truck back-up-beep, wood tin-hammer, cicada, fire horn. - A (Poetry of Place)

You may want to adjust according to specific format requests. If each piece needs a separate response, that could affect the above assignments slightly based on verbal interpretations of keywords.

Question
My birthplace vanished, my citizenship earned,
in league with stones of the earth, I
enter, without retreat or help from history,
the days of no day, my earth
of no earth, I re-enter

the city in which I love you.
And I never believed that the multitude
of dreams and many words were vain.

Question
On the days when the rest
have failed you,
let this much be yours—
flies, dust, an unnameable odor,
the two waiting baskets:
one for the lemons and passion,
the other for all you have lost.
Both empty,
it will come to your shoulder,
breathe slowly against your bare arm.
If you offer it hay, it will eat.
Offered nothing,
it will stand as long as you ask.
The little bells of the bridle will hang
beside you quietly,
in the heat and the tree's thin shade.
Do not let its sparse mane deceive you,
or the way the left ear swivels into dream.
This too is a gift of the gods,
calm and complete.

Answer 11

Analyzing the provided excerpt, we can discern several thematic elements:

• The imagery of nature is strong, with references to "flies," "dust," "baskets," and "tree's thin shade."
• There is an exploration of loss and presence, which could tie into personal reflection or spiritual themes, but the primary focus remains on the natural elements and gestures of offering.
• The mention of the "gift of the gods" and the serene presence of the "horse" suggests a spiritual connection, but it’s framed in natural imagery.

Given this analysis, the most fitting category for this poem is:

Poetry of Nature (C)

So the answer is:

C
