The poem The Jungle is not one of my favorites so far (still have lots more poems to read before making a list of ones I like and dislike). Unlike the other poems where it told a story, with or without an image. For me, this poem seemed like they were forcing to used the image of the jungle and make some poem up that went along with it. I know this sounds very similar to how my critique went on my Trust poem, so if that was what Robert Kelly's thought process on making a poem. Then I guess I should be the one to point fingers at how to write a poem, when even I am still learning how to write from the heart.
Looking at the painting, the pose of the woman looks familiar. It looks like the painting The Creation of Adam. The naked woman is reacting out to the flowers and also pointing out where animals of the jungle are. The image has interesting style and colors, it is just the poem that I don't see the connection or see any story in my head as I read this poem.
