Wow! That was great. (: I actually LOVE mysterious, difficult poems like those- it makes you think and gives you the oppurtunity to create your own view, idea, or opinion about what the author is trying to get across. I really enjoyed the assignment. I didn't find it difficult- just a challenge. (: Very enjoyable.
