Marianne Moore

I had never heard of Marianne Moore. She writes in an unusual way. I did read The Grave. In The Grave she is writing about observing a man looking at the sea. In the poem it seems that eveyone has the same right to look at the sea. It was a OK poem.

Robert Frost - After Apple -Picking

Robert Frost is one of my favorite poets. In the poem After Apple -Picking
After a day’s work, the person is tired of picking apples. He is getting sleepy and after working hard at picking apples he thinks of how he will dream about apples.
He is trying to be careful not to drop any apples; because if he does the apples will bruise. Bruised apples in After Apple -Picking are not any good except to make cider.

He compares worthless apples and dropping things to having bad dreams or having a good night’s sleep. He wonders if it will be a long, deep sleep, like a woodchuck who hibernates in the winter or just a normal sleep.
