The poem that I reviewed this week is called‚ “The Death Spread” by Tyler Brewington and I found it on versedaily.org on 5/09/16.

Throughout this semester I’ve read a lot of poems and short stories. Some were very graphic in a sense that while reading them I felt like I was within the poem or short stories and some even helped me to understand different point of views including my own life.
