New Feet Within My Garden Go by Emily Dickinson

I understood this poem, but I feel like it didn't have enough sustenance to provide a good picture. Also, I feel like a poem about a garden should have something to do with flowers or plants. I do like the references to spring and winter, though, because those two seasons are when gardens are most changed.

The Murmur of a Bee by Emily Dickinson

I like this poem because it is a simple style, but the language and message is not simple. I'm not really sure what bees have to do with the poem. I like the rhyming, but not the language.

What is Life? by Samuel T. Coleridge

I think that he is trying to be too deep so that it loses its meaning. The last stanza is alright, especially the last time. For some reason this poem makes me think of different shades of green - possibly because of trees?

Freeway 280 by Lorna Dee Cervantes

I think this poem is different because it combines English and Spanish into the same poem. It shows her emotions once again, so the reader can understand how she is feeling. Since the poem is straightforward, I understand the meaning of it.

Hotel by Lorna Dee Cervantes

This poem is pretty good. Even though it is about divorce, I thought that it showed her emotions very well. She didn't tell the readers how she felt; she showed them. It had a lot of details in it that made it interesting, too.

Meeting at Night by Robert Browning

I liked the description in this poem. It provides a good image in the reader's head. My favorite line is the line with the fiery ringlets.

The Laboratory by Robert Browning

Even though this poem is dark, I actually liked it. I thought it was kind of funny. At the same time it was a little creepy because a person is actually trying to poison someone else.

In a Gondola by Robert Browning

I didn't really understand this poem. I think the rhyming pattern was unique, though. I don't know what it has to do with the title.

Sadie and Maud by Gwendolyn Brooks

I think this poem because it is short and sweet. It follows a simple rhyming pattern and when you say it out loud it sort of rolls off the tongue. I like the message in it, too.

Kitchenette Building by Gwendolyn Brooks

This poem is unique. I think the way it is presented is cool. It shows how something that happens everyday can stand for something bigger.
