When reading Jess Walton's post on Before the Birth of One of Her Children, I definitely agreed with her when she said talking about death could go in two different ways. At first, I also thought she was talking about her own death. But as I read more I got the feeling that she was talking about her relationship between herself, as a mother, and her child. You may loose some things when you become a mother, but you gain so much more.
As I was reading Katarina Kleine's post on Nick and the Candlestick, I noticed similar ideas and concepts she did in the poem. This poem seems to be very religious and uses religious references and terms. In the poem it says, "Those Holy Joes." I automatically think of Joseph. It also even says the word religion in the 6th stanza. I also agreed with that at times it is hard to understand what the writer is trying to say when it comes to poetry and religion. The writer might be trying to say one thing, while his or readers might interpret it in a different way. Sometimes I feel there isn't a right or wrong answer. How you feel about a concept can't be wrong.
