  • on My Papa's Waltz by Theodore Roethke, on November 3, 2005
    I disagree with SeanJ, on the surface the meaning of the poem it seems as if it is a pleasant good night thing between father and son; however, if you look deeper the boy is very frightened of his abusive father, so he holds on tighter and closer to his father so he can't hit him. His mother's face which could not unfrown itself, is not frowned with minor disapproval at romping before bed time, is in fact scared for her son and her self; thus providing her disapproval.

  • on Pickle Belt by Theodore Roethke, on November 3, 2005
    hehehe I like this poem very much. I like his imagery and how you can see the plight the young man in in. Oh to be sixteen.

  • on I Knew a Woman by Theodore Roethke, on November 3, 2005
    I very much enjoyed this poem. I like how gracefully Roethke describes a woman's movement and form. It made me chuckle and I love the last captioned line "(I measure time by how a body sways)."
