This poem I think is my favorite out of all the poems in the packet. Not exactly sure why that is but it really gets to me. I think part of that is because of the imagery in the poem. I may like this poem, but it doesn't mean I understand it. So, the first thing I thought was that this person, possibly the author is not happy with her life at all. It is like her alternate reality telling her that her life is a waste and a complete failure. If it was me, my self-esteem would be in the sinker. The imagery in this poem is awesome and really adds to the whole failure aspect. "She twisted her wild hair and sparked her wild eyes." This tells the anger the alternate self has with the life that the narrator is living. I also get dissapointment from this alternate self. If the poem is about the author, the good thing that the title of the poem is It was a dream because it turns out that the author has had a really successful career as a writer and a person.
Sorry this blog is not very good, but I have been working on my Independent Reading Assignment and i think my fingers have carpal tunnel syndrome, but I did enjoy the poem at least.
I think my fingers have it too after commenting on all these blogs!
