Hard, Easy, and Just right Poems.

Hard Poem

Amor, Amor

Amor, amor, un hábito vestí
el cual de vuestro paño fue cortado;
al vestir ancho fue, más apretado
y estrecho cuando estuvo sobre mí.


Después acá de lo que consentí,
tal arrepentimiento me ha tomado,
que pruebo alguna vez, de congojado,
a romper esto en que yo me metí.


Mas ¿quién podrá de este hábito librarse,
teniendo tan contraria su natura,
que con él ha venido a conformarse?


Si alguna parte queda por ventura
de mi razón, por mí no osa mostrarse;
que en tal contradicción no está segura.
-Gracilaso de la Vega


Response: The thing that is hard about this poem is that first of all it is in Spanish. However I only Know a few words of Spanish in this poem because they don't teach us this complex spanish yet. the only thing i get from this is Amor,amor which mean love,love. So now I know that this poem is a love poem so those spanish words mean something sweet, kind, and romantic from a lover.




Easy Poem

It's not too hot
It's not too cold
A perfect day
To have and hold
The sun is out
Clouds are seen
It's still a day
To sit and dream.Ray Hansell

Response: I think this is an easy poem because it describes what the day is just like so you can picture it in your mind immidiatly. it is an easy poem because you know what is happeneing and it makes total sense. Once I read it Once I can get all the meaning out of it.

Just right poem

On a breeze her voice sighs to me
lingering touch and playful swirl
I breath her and she envelopes
playfully touching
lingering laughter
Real and Imagined
Together

Response: I think this is the just right poem because it leaves me wanting more of the peom. It isn't an easy poem  because this takes a few time to read throught o get the whole understanding. Like Ms.Green said that we needed to expand the moment the author of this poem strched this alot. Instead isf saying we were together on the date and explaining the date the author Takes one moment. I like this because it is kind of hard to imagine yet y can pick where you want the poem to be. Everyone has there own thoughts on this poem. i think it fits right into JUST RIGHT.
