American Gothic poem response

This poem is not one of my favorites. What I did not like about it is that it felt (if you can say that) boring and dull, just as the looks of the couple in the painting. After recently talking about the feeling and mood of a poem, to me this poem felt like it was slow and dragging on and nothing really happening. Maybe If I heard someone else read this poem and listen to how their tone is while reading this poem, I might say something different. But as I just said this poem didn't draw my attention. The type of poem this is, is a poem that in short details is telling the life of these characters. Just in the beginning we are given the image of the house and what should be their, the animals and such. Then we the reader are introduce to this couple that seem to just go about their day doing their work around the farm, and nothing else but that.
