Richard Wilbur - the ride

seems a pretty accessible rhyming poem about a dream of riding a horse in a snowstorm. I personally enjoy this more than the first two.

perhaps Burt will be able to expose more depth here that I miss.

Burt did have since insight, that the poem is a political commentary (seems a stretch to me) and relation to Frost

Tato Laviera - Tito Madera Smith ( for dr. Juan Flores)

surprise that Android voice recognition picked up the title so well

a lot of Spanish terms, phrases unfamiliar to me, taking about culture unfamiliar to me. Burt's explanation helps me understand more of the content.

Nuyorican poetry

encomium, praise poem

John Ashbury paradoxes and oxymorons

ars poetica poem that designs to tell us what poetry does

understood in a vague way what it was about. Burt's explanation often as confusing as the actual poem for me
