ROUSSEAU FINAL

Linaire 1 INTRODUCTION Ce poème est extrait du recueil d'Hélène Dorion poète québécoise contemporaine, Sont poème Mes forêts, paru en 2021. Poème premier du recueil, il correspond à l'un des cinq poèmes qui scandent le recueil et cherchent à définir ce que constituent les forêts pour la voix poétique. Ces 5 poèmes se situent entre les sections et s'ouvrent tous sur la formule "Mes forêts sont", véritable refrain qui structure l'œuvre. Écrit en vers libres, ce poème est composé de 4 strophes comprenant respectivement 10, 5,4 et 2 vers. Problématique Nous nous demanderons en quoi ce poème dépeint la forêt comme un espace à la fois extérieur et intérieur, symbole du processus de la création poétique. Conclusion: Ce poème montre que la forêt devient un espace symbolique ou se croisent souvenirs, temporalité et création poétique. Hélène Dorion transforme la nature en miroir de l'intime, donnant à la poésie un rôle de refuge et de réflexion. Ouverture : On peut comparer ce poème à Le Chêne et le Roseau de Jean de La Fontaine, parce que dans les deux textes, la nature sert à parler de la vie et de ce qu'on ressent à l'intérieur
