After looking through the poems the most interesting one to me is In the Tree. I like the poem mostly because it kept my attention the entire time I was reading it. Some times when I read poems I get detracted, in looking for hidden meanings my mind trails off on different thoughts throughout the poem breaking it up in such away that I have trouble seeing any pattern while other times I can piece the poem together fine but it's so cough up in symbolism's I can't understand and I am left utterly confused. In the Tree is written more like a story, simple and easily understandable. Although any symbolic meaning in the poem is lost to me I both enjoyed and agreed with what the poem has to say about how the writer likes the rain.
After reading Lens I have decided that it it because of my inability to see symbolism in these poems that make them sound like gibberish. I'm sure if I understood what they meant they would sound profound or at the very least understandable but from where I'm at they sound like somebody talking a song. the most I got out of Lens was the feeling that it was someone trying to say something to someone else but even then I could be completely wrong.
