Tell the women they can wear whatever they normally wear, and tell the boys to bring flowers wrapped up in old newspaper. Let reality triumph over illusion. There's only one real emperor: the emperor of ice cream.
Inside a drawer of the pine dresser (which is missing three of its glass knobs) you'll find a bedsheet belonging to the dead woman, one which she herself stitched with elaborate patterns. Lay it over her body and make sure her face is covered. If her feet (with their bunions and toes like horns) stick out at the bottom, it's just to remind us that she's cold and dead. Fix the lamplight on her in full glare. There's only one real emperor—the emperor of ice cream."

She explains that she doesn't like poetry because it seems meaningless but when you look deeper, you may find something of worth. However, once these themes evolve so deeply that they are almost impossible to understand, people will stop trying to understand them. Then she goes on to say how poems should not veer from "basic" topics and that if you are wanting them to contain all the "deeper meaning" stuff, then you actually like poetry. ]]> 2023-03-24 20:08:55 UTC https://padlet.com/tesshopk24/vrwu81l8h0w5vt3q/wish/2530882873 levihans24 https://padlet.com/tesshopk24/vrwu81l8h0w5vt3q/wish/2530882959 The tone and mood starts out lighthearted but slowly gets darker throughout the poem.]]> 2023-03-24 20:09:04 UTC https://padlet.com/tesshopk24/vrwu81l8h0w5vt3q/wish/2530882959 tesshopk24 https://padlet.com/tesshopk24/vrwu81l8h0w5vt3q/wish/2530883002 Written in free verse but also formed in stanzas. ]]> 2023-03-24 20:09:09 UTC https://padlet.com/tesshopk24/vrwu81l8h0w5vt3q/wish/2530883002 tesshopk24 https://padlet.com/tesshopk24/vrwu81l8h0w5vt3q/wish/2530883095 The tone of this poem is very conversational as she open up the poem with "I too dislike it" as if she were recording part of a previous conversation. ]]> 2023-03-24 20:09:18 UTC https://padlet.com/tesshopk24/vrwu81l8h0w5vt3q/wish/2530883095 erinmath24 https://padlet.com/tesshopk24/vrwu81l8h0w5vt3q/wish/2532089600 2023-03-26 22:34:50 UTC https://padlet.com/tesshopk24/vrwu81l8h0w5vt3q/wish/2532089600 levihans24 https://padlet.com/tesshopk24/vrwu81l8h0w5vt3q/wish/2533694589 https://www.enotes.com/topics/ball-game/in-depth]]> 2023-03-27 20:13:41 UTC https://padlet.com/tesshopk24/vrwu81l8h0w5vt3q/wish/2533694589 tesshopk24 https://padlet.com/tesshopk24/vrwu81l8h0w5vt3q/wish/2533696010 2023-03-27 20:15:17 UTC https://padlet.com/tesshopk24/vrwu81l8h0w5vt3q/wish/2533696010
