Oh, and my heart goes out to you, both my parents taught poetry, creative, writing, and man giving someone a B or C on one of their poems especially in this day and age sounds like a constant recipe for headaches. Also going to poetry readings across the country as a kid is super boring.
Thankfully, I have been able to avoid teaching an all poetry course thus far in my career. I teach a unit of poetry in my Lit survey courses, but that's all.
I love CW, and I appreciate the great poets, but that's not my focus. I'd hate to have to grade a student's poetry.

If I remember my HS geometry, this has to do with Sine, Cosine, and Tangent. But that's all I remember.
Would some Opposite viewpoints help? I could throw in a Hypotenuse, too, shortest distance and all.
Sine = Opposite / Hypotenuse, Cosine = Adjacent / Hypotenuse, Tangent = Opposite / Adjacent.
