Poems that you love

[Lizzie]

At first, I didn't think I would like the poem because it reminded me of one of those genealogy lists. He sold me by the time we got to the waiter and dawn's garnet light. I absolutely loved the final strophe.

I was skimming over the names in the list like it was one of those genealogy lists. It's neat to have that "aha" moment when you realize that this is part of what the poem's about, and then you have that "I see what you did there" moment.

The metaphors are my favorite parts, and I also love the two in the last strophe. I like how he includes full stops between the names in the last line to force the reader to slow down.
