Poetry Responses- Jacob Ferguson

David Chen- I like the way the poem puts new meaning to the painting.  It interprets the woman's look as a look of revenge or vindication for wrongdoings. I also like how the stanzas get longer s you delve deeper into the story surrounding the painting and as it gets more complicated.

Mikaela Gatewood- The repetition of will at the beginnings of lines gives emphasis to this word, giving all the statements an extreme certainty and concreteness which parallels the eternal nature of the couple's love.  I also like the imagery of the crown of ivy dying, because it represents the natural decay that the author is saying will never reach these two lovers.
