Poems

The poem that I really liked was called Atmosphere by A.V. Christie. I thought it touches on a woman expressing her failed marriage through a poem. Like my favorite stanza is when she says.

"In this our anniversary year
with its thin atmosphere
and, to be probed,
its extreme cold."

I really like the way she put these lines together because you will only find people that are miserable to be extremely cold, almost dead. Another reason my attention was caught was because of the way she uses the atmosphere to define what is happening.
