Spontaneous is a characteristic of Metaphysical poetry. Explain what that means, using ONE John Donne poem. Be specific.  Reminders: Use ONLY your brain, your notes, the texts, and study aids I have posted. Do NOT plagiarize or cheat, using the Internet, AI, or another classmate or anyone else for that matter. Doing so WILL result in an automatic ZERO for the test and a report to the Vice-President of Student Services and a possible F in the course.

Show me what you know and think. Make no assumptions about what I think you know or think. Provide more information and ideas than you think you need. Answering all twelve will NOT earn you extra credit. You may receive partial credit for your responses. Although this is not a composition class, it is still an English class, so use your best standard English skills.
