The Tall Figures of Giacometti poem response
This was an odd poem to read, and I don't understand what is going on. If I had to guess on the tone of the poem, I would say that it has a depressing feeling/tone to it. With words like crude, ugly, dead it just sounds so sad and depressing. I can picture someone reading this poem in a way like they don't care about anything or anyone anymore and they prefer to be alone and think that truth is ugly and other stuff like that. I'm having a hard time getting an image of what this poem is trying to say. It is like when I read this poem (over and over to myself) I see nothing in my thoughts. But maybe that is the point of this poem, that it does not have to have full detail descriptive words to paint the picture in your head. So as you can tell not one of my favorite poems and if I was ask to illustrate this poem, it would be the hardest assignment to do. Because I can not see what is going on, what it the point of the poem.
