Poetry

I thought that each one of these poems had something that was different and unique about each one of them. I thought that the first one “How do I love thee?” was very repetitive. I thought that it stopped kind of abruptly at the end. On the other hand I really liked that second story “The Tally Stick” was very descriptive, this in my opinion made the story really good. These are the two stories that stuck out in my eye as the best of the ones that we read this week. The other ones on the list in my opinion just didn’t to anything for me or they were kind of hard for me to follow. The one that I thought was hard to follow was, “On her loving two equally”. I had a hard time keeping the people straight, the wording was confusing and the overall way the poem was printed in my opinion just did not work for me for some reason. Another story that I liked was “Wedding-Ring” it was touching but, in my opinion again the format was kind of crazy. Why, would a writer write a poem with most of the lines on the left margin and then after four or five lines all of the sudden change margins and then go back after just a couple of words? I didn’t see the purpose to that at all.
