"Mother to son" i agree that mother to son was most clear to me as well .... the poem is based on this one metaphor. The metaphor in this poem relates life to a staircase. "Well, son, I'll tell you life ain't been no crystal stair."(Lines 1-2). The mother, who is talking to her son, is saying life is not just something you can walk through with ease. It is a long and hard journey... this reminds me of my other and the way she conveys life to me and my younger sister
"For My daughter" surprsed me at the end when she reveals she doesn't have a daughter and don't desire to have any children. at the same time i can relate. Being a woman with no children i often wondered what it would be like to have a child. what if my child was sick? what if it was health? what would i name it? i even dreamt about having a child.
"The Chimmney Sweeper" was a little sad. can u imagine being sold before u even kno who your parents are? and to basically be a slave???
