"To His Coy Mistress" by Andrew Marvell

Well since this glorious little foot note on the printed copy of this says, it is a poem about a woman who is not certain she wants to fall in love with aman. This poem is the man's response to this phenomenon. It seems the man is desperately in love with the woman and just wants her to be with him forever. I think it makes him out to be a little pathetic but those are just my thoughts.

"Death, be not proud" by John Donne

This poem seems to be a religious one simply because of the many references to death not having power. The reason i say this is because many if not all religions describe life after death almost to make the followers ready for death. This makes me believe this to be a poem written by someone who is in the process of losing someone important. He could even perhaps be dying while writing it. In a nutshell, I interpret this poem to be a critcism of death little power in a world with life after death.

"My Papa's Waltz" by Theodore Roethke

I am really horrible at interpreting poetry, but I'll give it a shot. It seems like the "Papa" has a drinking problem and gets in fights. This doesn't change the son's opinion of him because he loves his father. it seems like this poem was written after the father died because it seems like a remembrance of him.
