Claudia’s Response to Chris’s Poems:
The Marriage
This poem paints a picture of an old married couple who seem to be in a loveless marriage, but that is not how it started out when they were younger. The wife nags constantly and the man has a vision of killing her by lobbing a coffee mug at her head. Their marriage brings to mind his parents’ marriage which he seems to be reliving. I like the picture you paint of how the old man once “fawned over” his “young and impetuous “ wife, but has now lost that feeling. I think it is a reminder to all married couples of what can happen if you don’t work hard at keeping that spark alive.
The Traveler
Nice imagery of flying over a cityscape and the scene that unfolds prior to landing. I especially liked the line, “Like bacteria in a Petri dish, A living organism grows”. As I read this line, I am reminded of the view of a city at night from a plane having a lifelike quality with the lights undulating giving it movement. Great visualization.
Thanks-Claudia
