I loved this poem.
I don't think that this famous art piece could have a better poem written about it. The poet definitely sums it up very nicely and almost comically. I found myself smiling while reading it, wishing I had come up with something that clever.
I don't think that there is a definite line or stanza that hold the insight to the poem. I think the insight is evenly spread throughout the poem- reiterated again and again in the best way possible. I enjoy the last lines about the woman wondering whether or not she turned off the stove. I found it wonderful that the poet portrayed the couple as distracted and worried rather than angry and creepy like so many people think today. I don't think the art piece was meant to be seen as eerie. I have always had a nice giggle from looking at the painting, so I think that the poem did a fantastic job portraying the couple.
The organization and flow also add to the successfulness of this poem.
