I thought the various Bluebeard poems were all very interesting. I have read different versions of the fairy tale, and I could see them present in the poems. I was thinking about the part in Carryl's poem where the woman has time to send telegrams to her brothers. I remember that in one of the versions I read, the woman begs for Bluebeard to give her time. He gives her until dawn or something. During that time she sends for her family to come rescue her. I can't remember if she is successfully rescued or not though. But i think her begging him for more time is the part that is missing from the poem, not that it should be in the poem.
I found it extremely difficult to write a poem that had only candy at the end of our last class. I really just sat there thinking about it. I really only got down a few words. I don't think I would like ready a poem that is all candy. I kind of feel like what is the point if there is no medicine to go along with it. I feel like reading a poem that was all candy would leave you with questions or a feeling of loss. There really needs to be a balance of both.
