rage

<< Previous Next >>
Indeed, what does this have to do with rage? Are we supposed to assume the bee stung from rage? If so, how does this fit with “dreaming”, “smiles”, or “daisys”. The theme of rage neither contrasts nor fits with the rest. And the same disconnect comes with the last line. The underlying emotional reaction is not conveyed. If you have hinted at it, I didn’t get it. A lot of poems have a last line or two that veers from the rest enough to leave us thinking, ruminating; but the last line seems disconnected. Sorry, but this one doesn’t work for me.
