Which of these poems most demonstrate the simple, commonplace and the dramatic, and in what ways do the selected poems show these attributes?The...

I think that the best way to address this question is to
use Wordsworth's analysis on poetry as in his work, Lyrical
Ballads
.  When Wordsworth argues that poetry has to be centered and fixated
upon the "incidents and situations from common life."  I think that this helps establish
that Wordsworth believed that within these daily occurrences, something powerful
emerges.  This is why so many of Wordsworth's subjects are elements found in nature or
in the natural setting.  Wordsworth sought to democratize his poetry by ensuring that
the subjects of his work could be approachable by anyone.  In this light, Wordsworth was
able to bring out the universal from the subjective, the external from the internal.  In
his poetry the subjects are in accordance to this idea.  A woman singing in a field, the
field of flowers swaying to the breeze, as well as a bridge are all settings for
profound truths of consciousness that can be appreciated by anyone for they can be
discovered by anyone.
