Response #1 - week 7

This poem was very impressive. It really paints the image of this man very well. Because the poem is called "The Poet" i was expecting the description of his life to be more detailed, because he dies rather quickly before he ever fully lives in the poem. But the details about his life that are included are beautifully put. The ending is very solidifying though in a sad way, but i like the mention of his daughter, showing how his life continues on through is offspring.
