"Poem" by Valentine Ackland
In this poem, I believe Valentine is speaking to a previous love that still holds on to a part of her heart. Furthermore, she intends for the audience to be her ex-love, so the narrator is obviously her. I took this poem in a symbolic way because literally she is talking about a letter that is speaking of a storm and wind, but symobolically she is actually speaking of a letter from her previous love and her emotions for this lover. When she says "But I cannot take it." (Line 5) she is saying that she doesn't wan't to be connected to this love anymore. "A sharper storm had blown / Us apart already, the wind will not slacken but rise" (Line 5-6) She is saying that until they are "parted completly" there will still be terror and feelings of hurt and pain because of what they have already gone through. I thought this was a good poem to write about since it deals with love and obviously there is plenty of loved feeled emotions in the air this week.
