Mary Oliver's poems

I picked "A Visitor" as the poem I want to write about. The poem really spoke to me. One of the reasons i liked it is she picked her father as an example and how he kept knocking on her door but she would not open she slept fitfully in her bed. Though one day she came down and opened the door and she saw in his eyes how if she would have loved him sooner what love would have done for there realashinship. I liked the way that she explained it and how he looked. His waxy face, his lower lip swollen with bitterness. The words she chooses are words that make you picture it when you read the poem.

I picked this poem to write about because it has shown me not to hate but to love your family. It has shown me what hate can do to a realashinship. If she would have just opened the door just a little bit sooner there realashinship could have been saved. She would have loved her father and he would have loved her back. That is why I picked this poem to write about.
