Poem 25

I read "I'm Nobody! Who are you? (260)" by Emily Dickinson.

I enjoyed this little poem because it showed how easy it is to be nobody compared to being somebody. It showed how you could be anyone you want or no one at all, but if you are somebody, you have to worry about appearances and the such. It was nice to read in adolesence because it is a time where you are trying to figure out who you really want to be in life.

Poem 24

I read "Nothing Gold Can Stay" by Robert Frost.

I wasn't really certain what to expect before reading this but I was surprised to see that it was about spring. It explained how precious the first leaf is of the new season, but how insignificant it is after a while. I thought of our insignificance in the universe after reading this. I was not really a fan of this poem.

Poem 23

I read "An Irish Airman Foresees His Death" by William Butler Yeats.

It was about exactly what the title says it is. I was a bit depressed after reading this. It was like watching an animal slowly die. Just not fun to read in general.

Poem 22

I read "The Red Wheelbarrow" by William Carlos Williams.

It was about the importance of a red wheelbarrow. I also have a red wheelbarrow on the side of my yard which is glazed with rainwater, though it is not as important. I would have to say that this is a more useless poem than the last one, but not as fun to read.

Poem 21

I read "This Is Just To Say" by William Carlos Williams.

I loved this poem because it held the same intensity that I have at this point. It was about the author eating some ones plums. More of a note than a poem but probably the most pointless poem i have ever read all the same. I loved it.

Poem 20

I read "Landscape With The Fall of Icarus" by William Carlos Williams.

I enjoyed this poem thoroughly because for some odd reason I love the story of the flight of Icarus. It kind of put it in perspective on what the scenery on land was at the time. It also put in perspective how insignificant the splash was at the time. I loved this poem.

Poem 19

I read "The Hurricane" by W. C. Williams

It was a short little poem about the aftermath of a hurricane. A tree destroyed a garage.

It was kind of funny because the it meant for the garage to go to its heaven because it was killed by the tree.
