Gifts/ Under Stars/ Choices

   Gifts by Young Lee is more of a father-son moment that two two went through. The father is trying to help his son becuase he has a splinter in his hand and instead of just yanking the metal iron off he tells a story to his son to take the pain away. The poem is very inspiring in many ways including for those who love shteir father. Like in the end when he says what else is there to do but give my father a kiss. When he says "had you entered you wouldve thought there was a man planting somehting in the boy's palm" its like he is saying how sweet he felt during the moment he had with his father.
   Choices is a poem that makes you think of many things that goes on in life, like the big important decisions. The nests appearing on all the branches that the author wnted to cutt down can represent many people who you might hurt by decisions we all makes, choices also gives a point of opportunities. When all the nests appear rather then the one tht the author saw, i may think its "door opening for other things to come."
  Under Stars poem is a poem that the author remembers one specific moment in her life from a present day occuernce. She talks about two people who just left the bed, but yet they are so far away. It makes me think she is thinking of a loved one that she lost because she says i think of you and yet you are so far away, you give me reasons to look up at the sky
   What do you guys think????
