You fit into me by Margaret Atwood is a very confusing poem. I cant tell if shes meaning "you fit into melike a hook into an eye" positively or negatively. A fishing hook lodging itself into an open eyeball is not a pleasant thing at all. (not that I would know) If she is trying to describe love. I would reccommend love, even at it's negative points, with a better picture. Rather than a hook getting stuck into an eyeball. Just my opinion though.
Writing by Jan Dean is a very witty poem. She uses many examples I'm sure many teachers see on papers today. Selling errors, punctuation, grammar, every mistake you could think of. I picture Jan being a teacher venting about her student's writing mistakes in poem form. I'm sure seeing the same mistakes over and over again on assignments gets really annoying. Jan is expressing her anger in a unique way.
Even though the lesson of the falling leaves is a very short poem, it is a very powerful one. Lucille uses such a simple thing such as falling leaves to represent love, then faith, then grace, and then the most important, God. It's funny how an everyday thing that none of us even pay attention to can represent so much more. This is a poem you could just sit and think about all day.
