Part II(about 100-150 words is good enought):Of all the poems(the zip file)
you have read for this course, which was your favorite. Talk about why.
Example:
One poem I absolutely love is "Starry Night" by Anne Sexton. I love Vincent Van Gogh's art to begin with! Anne Sexton used great descriptive language, creating vivid imagery for me! "The town is silent The night boils with eleven stars."I think that Anne Sexton is expressing her beliefs in the poem. She fills her poem with themesof life, death, color, etc.
