Ron Koertge When my English teacher told us that we had to analyze a poem I was excited to start. Once I started looking at all of the one hundred and one poems‚ I disliked a lot of them‚ when I first stumbled upon the title I thought that the title was way to long and the poem would be boring.

This feeling of dark and twistedness is present throughout the whole poem. This gives the poem an overall
