I liked this poem because it was interesting. If I were to tell my friends about this poem, I would tell them there were lots of difficult words such as spalled and husks. This poem reminds me of a boiler room because he makes two references to being a bolier inspecter.
Stan Rogel, Cowboy Dreams
I thought this poem was unique. It was unique because it was about a cowboy shooting people, like in an old western film. This author does a good job to create a picture in your mind.
I found this poem interesting because of what she writes in it. She states that there are many things in life that won’t be accomplished. I believe that she wrote this poem when she was upset about something because it is a negative poem.
I found this poem really neat because he is writing about how much television means in our world. I found this poem diffuclt to understand because there were lots of big words. I really enjoyed this poem because it was well written.
I liked this poem because it was touching. It was about the poet’s life as a poor, abused child. The poem makes you think a lot. One part that makes you think is when he states “Sleeping in a bed once shared.” I think this tells us that he has a terrible life. It also says that he is poor and can only afford to share a bed. One very touching part is when is says “It’s counting the months not know days of the week.” I think this means he is waiting for his life to get better but doesn’t now when it will. Something else he says that’s interesting is “its life on welfare and disability pension, smoking tobacco again.” I believe this means that there are very poor but they use what little money they get to buy tobacco. In conclusion this poem was well written can is very moving.
Patrick Lane, Elephants - Literary Experiences, Volume One
This poem was difficult to understand because there are a lot of confusing parts. One example of a confusing part is “The alcoholic truck drive and the cat skinner sit beside me with their eyes closed. All of us waiting out our last hour until we go back one the grade.” This is confusing because it gives no details. In the end the confusion is resolved when they tell us the grade is a high way being built. The morale in this poem is great because the person in this poem is building a highway over a graveyard that a little boy’s father is buried in. As I’m Reading the first stanza, I am very confused because it has no point. I find myself needing to stop and re-read it. In the end it was a very touching poem that makes you think. I really enjoy this piece of poetry.
Kiakshuk,The Giant Bear-On Common Ground
I read this poem because the title caught my eye. The title explains the poem completly because the peom is about a giant bear. I think that people would read this poem because of the title.
As I read the first stanza I become interested in this great poem. It tells me that the character is a snake trying to avert danger. I think the first stanza is meant to catch the reader’s attention. This entire poem has a single morale. I think the morale can be describes with the most meaningful phrase: “Security, alas, can give a threatening impression; too much defense-initiative can prompt aggression.” This is said because the snake is too obessed about his safety so he attacks someone who means no harm. I think this message can be applied to everyday life. I liked how this poem rhymed. I think it made the poem more interesting and enjoyable. I definatly made the point of the poem more interesting. Another thing I liked about this poem was that it was not difficult. I would recommend it to my friends or anybody else because it is probably one of the best poem I have ever read.
J. Hugh MacDonald, Going Up?

Seamus Heaney, Song
I found this poem confusing because of the way it is said. It is very poetic but very difficult. It was very challanging to read.
