Out of the poems the
one I liked the best was “Here a Pretty Baby Lies”, written by Robert Herrick
the reason why I liked the poem was because it was simple. The diction in the
poem is easy, and the rhyme scheme is basic. The reason why I liked the poem
the best is because of how one line at the end of the poem can change
everything. That one line at the end can make you think totally different. From
the last line of the poem we find out that the baby that the author gave us a visual
of is in a grave. The poem has deep meaning and I like it because its straight
forward and gets right to the point.
The poem that I least
cared for was “Schoolsville” written by Billy Collins. One of the reasons why
is I thought it was boring nothing really was going on. It seemed like a boring
town. There was no surprise ending compared to the poem “Here a Pretty Baby
Lies”, it just did not keep my attention and therefore I did not care for it.
good insight!I also really liked "Here a Pretty Baby Lies" I really like when authors write pieces that have a shocking ending the way this one did. It touches the reader in an emotional way. I did like "Schoolsville" also though because i found it a little humourous and the old man acted as if he were going crazy. I dont think he was telling the whole truth about reality.
