3 Poems

When I read these poems it's obvious that they are all about someones child.

"The Chimney Sweeper" was more from the child's point of view. How his father shipped him off to work and how jkm and his friends constantly thought about death and when they died the angels would come and set them free from their coffins.

When I read "Mother to Son" it was clear that the mother was trying to tell her some about all the hard work and situations she xame accross in life but how it got better. Somehow letting him know that even if he thinks things are tough, they'll always get better later on so never give up.

As for "For my Daughter" I really felt like the mother lost her baby. She describes the death of her daughter and the end where it says, "I have no daughter, I desire none" (14) is maybe her saying that losing a daughter made her no longer want another. Like she didn't want to replace her last.
