"The Waste Land" by T.S. Elliot
This was probably the hardest poem I have ever tried to read. One was becasue it was pretty long, but another reasoning behind this was because I had trouble following all of the jumps and details in this poem. I'm the kind of person who likes an exact answer, so this poem definitely didn't fit that criteria. When Elliot talks about the four seasons in the beginning of the poem, I thought it was interesting how he considered April to be the "cruelest" of the months. When thinking about this month in greater detail, I thought this might be because of the storms that cause damage. However, living in west Texas really gives us a different point of view because we are always desperate for the rain that April brings. I personally think T.S. Elliot has a unique brain because some of the thoughts that he portrays through this poem are very broad yet interesting.
