Comparing+All+The+Poems....

When comparing "It's Raining Love" by Richard Bragutigan, "Funeral Blues" by W.H Auden and " First Poem to You" by Kim Addonizio I found that they were all very different, even though they were all categorized under the theme; love. All these poems had different takes on love. "It's Raining in Love" was a very light poem with a cute vibe about love. "Funeral Blues" on the other hand was a tragic love poem about a widow loosing her husband who she loved. Finally, "First Poem to You" was a poem about being scared to fall in love. I think that shows you that love is a very broad topic. "Funeral Blues" by W.H Auden was my favorite. I personally think it was better written then the others. W.H Auden's descriptive writing made it so I could visually see the poem as I was reading it. The format of the poem made it so I had a rhythm in my head when I read it. I felt like I was in the widows brain. The three poems all speak to people in different ways. Each person will take away a different lesson from these poems. What spoke to me the most was how something so wonderful can make you hurt so bad. I think this is a great lesson and hope that other people will be able to take away this lesson from the poems.
