Single Life by Dufflyn explains the upsides of not dating a man. Dufflyn is good at
expressing herself that you can sense she feels in control or is being
humorous. "For the first time in my life, my bathroom is my own!" and
"Men and women should just live next door and visit when they're
horny!" The poem speaks to me because it is saying that you don't always
need to have someone else to be with you all the time, that being single can
also be a good thing. The way that Dufflyn delivered the poem really made me
think, analyze and understand, and that's why i liked this poem
Does it confuse you when people
say "I'm an emotional idiot so get away from me... I mean marry
me."? In Maggie Estep's poem Emotional Idiot she talks about
relationships and how they seem to be. It is humorous because one second she’s
telling you to "get away from [her]" then the next she is saying
"I mean, come here" and it's confusing because Maggie keeps
contradicting herself. I think that the theme is that relationships are not
always perfect, but you have to make with what you got. The way that she tells
the guy to get away from her and then to come back,
In Thea Monyee's poem Woman to
Woman she talks about another girl trying to steal her husband. Thea shows
her seriousness by telling the other woman that "[her] skirt is so short
that is already shows [her] best assets. She explains how the other woman is
conceited by "telling your friends that he’s cheating on me because he
really wants you" Just because you can take someone's partner does not
make you better than them. I like how Thea explained that "when he can’t
deal with all of me, he goes to you" admitting that she can be hard to
stand sometimes.
