Week 11 blog post

After class on Monday, I noticed a lot more things about the poem. I now enjoy the fact that he made such short stanzas. I find it effective because it keeps a continuity throughout a poem that has random line breaks. Beyond that, I find it effective, but ultimately frustrating that he does not use punctuation like periods in his work. It is hard to get a foothold when everything is one continuous sentence. I found his discussion of terminal cancer in the latter half of his poem to be moving due to its conversational tone and introspective result on the part of the speaker.
