What Do Women Want Poem response

What caught my attention about this poem was the painting next to it. The woman wearing a red dress and her posture says something else is going on with her, and that the poem might have the answer.  It looks like she is either sad, or turning her back away from her problems or hiding some secret (maybe that she stole the red dress).  A lot of ideas can go this picture, one of my first ideas of what this poem was going to be about some kind of passion and romance type of poems.

But after reading the poem, it was something completely different from my idea. And even though it was not what I was expecting, I still like it. I guess in a way there is some passion and desire in this poem. Mostly from the woman that is describing how badly she wants the dress. Further on in the poem’s story, little pieces unfold about what type of person she is and where she is from. She is a woman from town, and she wants to wear this dress, and be someone else, even if it is someone that no one expects her to be. And that she is not wealthy but she will treasure the dress for as long as she lives. 
I think the image does relate to the poem. The way she is holding herself, wearing the red dress, shows that she is not going to give up this dress. And it also adds emotion to both the image and the poem. After reading the poem and looking back to the illustration, I can see that the images works for the poem. There could be other illustration that could go with this poem. But as i mention before, this illustration has that feeling of desire and it is expressed in the poem.
What I like about the poem is how it shows the desire of wanting something so badly. It is easy to relate to of that wanting something and never letting it go. From this poem, and what I like to see in poems is that they not only tell a story. But also carry some emotion/ meaning to it.
