For My Daughter By Weldon Kees
This poem is very deep. Kees is describing in the poem on how she dispises and hates the daughter. She also describes in the first few lines on what a liar the daughter is, "Looking into my daughters eyes i read beneath the innocence of morning flesh". This stanza proves that Kees knows she is lying. In the last Line it says " i have no daughter, I desire none". Im guessing Weldon wished she never had a daughter.

How do you know the speaker in Weldon Kees' poem is a woman? Which line indicates that the speaker hates the daughter? Continue reading, as just because a line ends, this does not mean that is the end of the idea; follow the punctuation. What does the speaker see in the daughter's eyes? How does this compare to the other two poems?
ReplyDeletethats the thing that i am confused on. is the speaker a woman or a man?
ReplyDeleteare there any clues to support that the speaker is a woman or a man? is it necessary to know the gender of the speaker to understand this poem, or can we simply leave it at that the speaker is a parent?
