For each pair of sentences, put MI beside the sentence that states a main idea. Put D beside the sentence which contains a supporting detail. The coyote is a terrifying enemy of sheep.

A sheep has many enemies.

A sheep has many enemies.MI

The coyote is a terrifying enemy of the sheep.D

the difference between an explicit and implicit meaning is that the explicit meaning of a poem is that the detail is exactly defined. nothing is left to interpretation. an implicit meaning is an implied meaning. kabir's poetry is both explicit and implicit in that it can be interpreted on different levels. the explicit meaning leaves nothing to interpretation while the implicit meaning leaves lots open to interpretation. an example of this is found in the poem "rumi and the spiritual lover".
