Poem Ask me ...

The short poem Ask me by William Stafford was nothing of which  I expected from reading the title.  Before reading the poem I didn't really have much expectations, I just thought that it will be a simple poem about nature or life in a forest. What I liked most about the poem is that it still had a lot of meaning and understanding even though it was short. There was no dislikes in this poem, everything flowed well reading and comprehending it. I would recommend it to a friend because I feel this poem is very relatable to teens and adults.

  1. Yes and same here.The poem is giving a very different feeling then what I feel about the title. For the title "Ask Me" Stafford uses a common language that we use in everyday life, so I thought the poem must shows its ideas or points directly. However, Stafford does it in exactly the opposite way.
