Spring and Fall:
Okay, so let me just tell you that I'm not good at poems, they were always the thing in literature that gives me constant headaches and frustration. Reading the following, Spring and Fall, I realized the the headaches were once again coming! I remember in class when we were discussing how each stanza had it's own beat, and mood which made it a little better for me to read it. (it kind of sounded like a rap)
"Ah! As the heart grows older,
It will come to such sights colder.
By and by, nor a spare a sigh
Through the worlds of wanwood leafmeanl lie;
And yet you will weep and know why."
I really liked that part of the passage, I can picture Margaret giving up on whatever the situation was and just accepting it for what is was and that there's nothing she can do about it.
Overall, the poem was confusing in some aspects but they're so pretty to read and complicated and that's what appeals to me the most. I think I just need to read more and analyze each stanza, then I could be better at reading them and writing them.
