"Shall I find comfort, travel sore and weak?
Of labor you shall find the sum.
Will there be beds for me and all who seek?
Yes, beds for all who come."
This poem uses an ongoing metaphor to describe life. This layout of the poem makes it seem like a conversation is going on between two people. This poem portrays a sense of reassurance and promise. The diction in this poem is very friendly and makes you want to continue reading. The diction helps with the metaphor that is being portrayed in this poem. The beginning is talking about the journey through life and how there is always room and something will always come up and then at the end it is reassurance that there will be peace when life ceases to exist. This poem is peaceful and reaches out to life in a way that is not expected.
The technique that I want to take from this poem is the use of asking question and then answering them. This helps with the personal sense of the poem. The reader may feel like the writer is directly talking to them. And although this technique may seem like it is not open to interpretation the use of the metaphor allows for creativity to take place. People who read the poem for what it is will see the poem differently than those who look at it figuratively. The questions make this poem unique from many others, especially when interpreting.
