Poetry Response, Emmet Allen

Charlie Grimes.
I liked the way he started nearly every statement in the beginning of the poem with the subject. By doing so, the poem seemed more monotonous, which fit well with the bleak subject of that portion. In the later section, he continues with this trend, but the attitude shifts drastically. The style and shift made his poem very successful.

Caleb Combs.
This poem did a good job of taking the literal aspects of the painting and building off the meaning. Specifically, the discussion of protection by the church and the observational nature of the moon. Another good choice was to repeat the phrase that acts as the title of the painting at the beginning and end of the poem.
