 * How is the theme evident in each?
 * Which poem had the most effect on you and why?

My theme was "the feeling of peacefulness" which a feeling that makes an individual feel relaxed and make them "turn out" the busy world and take a mental breather. The question "how is the theme evident in each?" is up to the reader, because what could make me feel calm and relaxed could not be the case for others. I picked the poems based on how they made me feel, but I don't know if they are the right ones for students in the class or other people who would be reading them. My answer to that question would be, in the poem Desert Places, the way it makes my feel relaxed would be its description of snow and how most of the poem is about nature, not about the city or other busy areas. In the poem Bright Star, the way that the poet uses imagery to play a movie in my head lets my body breathe and focus. Lastly the poem Peace is more of a story then a poem, although the story doesn't make complete sense and lets the mind wonder a little. The way that the poet told a story that lets the mind create it's story rather then following a already written story makes it layed back and less stressful.

The poem that had the most effect on me was the poem Desert Places, because picturing snow is one of natures beauty that brings good memories to me. Imagening a cold winters night around the fire place drinking hot coco makes me feel at home and loosened up. Also the way that the poet relates almost everything to nature, such as "The woods around it have it-it is theirs. All animals are smothered in their lairs." it gives the poem a natural feeling that the poet is using resources around him, rather then incorporating man-made objects.
