This poem was very interesting. I can tell that it's one of those poems that I will randomly recall during the next week and have a new connection to it. I liked this poem because he not only managed to make a strange belief seem completely believable, but he also managed to make a dark subject seem lighthearted and almost sweet.
I get a definite dreamy feeling while reading this poem. I liked the misty feeling that comes over me as I read the last few lines.
The poem obviously has imagination and imagery, and I am assuming that the insight would be that he is already a ghost, but I do think that this poem could be taken a few different ways. I am interested to know what my classmates thought of the poem. I feel like this poem in particular would be fun to discuss. I have a feeling that everyone gets a different kind of feeling when reading this poem.
As far as the art goes, I think the poem stands alone very well, but I also think that If there would have been a more eerie art piece next to the poem, I may have felt much differently about the poem.
