LATE FEBRUARY BY TED KOOSER

This poem seemed to describe the environment of which comes in the month of February. For example it says, " Now children stiffened by winter dressed, somehow like old men". Now what I basically take from this is the comparison that older men dress with a lot of more clothing due to the fact they get colder than younger men. Another part of the poem I like is when he said said "spring is brief by five o' clock the chill of sundown, darkness, the blue tv's flashing like storms". To me this was such a good visual to picture in my brain. this quote related so much to february its like almost impossible to not see this actually happening.This poem also made me very excited to see the nice weather because this winter I most say was one of the hardest that we have ever been through in a long time. but this poem to me express exactly what the month of february is about.

Sex Without love by sharon Olds

"wow" I felt this poem so much. It was so deep as if I could feel every emotion she express through out the  poem. one of my favorite lines is when she said "Beautiful as dancers gliding over each other like ice skaters over the ice". This was very beautiful because comparing sex as being some thing that was soft  but yet done in a soft motion was dead on point. But what i found funny was when he compared the faces to red wine. which showed how passionate they were. so when you think about it how could their be sex without love. To me it seems to go hand and hand.
