Unveiling by Linda Pastan

Oh a new poem from newm packet equals excitement. I decided to do the poem Unveiled by Linda Pastan because it looked interesting, but also because it is mostly short and my brian is kind of dead right now. But I also liked her poem too. I thought it was interesting on how the author is not grieving for the loss of love ones, but jealous that they are all dead together and she feels left out of the picture. I don't necessarily think that she wants to be dead but mostly wants to be with her family again and she misses them, but in the process of missing them she is thinking of the memories of them. I do not understand why the title is Unveiling. Maybe she is unveiling old memories of the times of her family. I enjoyed the simplicity of this poem and this is a good start to the new packet of poems.
