13 Ways of Looking at a Blackbird poem response

This poem is growing on me, in the beginning I did not get the poem. I was trying to hard to put everything in a visual image in my thoughts. But after reading this poem over many times in class and having use it as a guide in my past poem (The Seine),  I have come to like the style of this poem. It is a bit long, and I usually don't like poems that are too long. For me when I see a poem that long it is almost intimidating, and i worry that if i read it I would miss something important. What I do like about this poem is that in the 13 ways of describing the Blackbird, Wallace Stevens did not have to go into full detail and description of the Blackbirds. Something I need to learn more from when it comes to writing my own poems. I like adding descriptions and details to my work, from my illustrations to writing a story, so this comes as a bad habit to me when trying to write a poem with less words. I also was able to follow along to this poem, it could be for the fact thatI heard it before in class, but I like the flow of the poem and there is not a slow moment in it. Though I can not figure out the right mood for this poem. But if I had to guess, I would say that this is a happy poe,m. Stevens is writing a poem about Blackbirds and talking about them in many ways, maybe these birds are his favorite and he wants to share with everyone what he sees.
