"Ode to a Nightingale"
This poem is deep, I think he referring to himself as the nightingale but he uses the nightingale to represent the side of him that is the poet. He seems to refer to himself when speaking about the old men and youth in the poem. He as a man sees all the ugliness in the world but as a poet he can rise abouve it " like a nightingale" and bring beautiful poetry to the world.

W.Wordsworth's " Micheal"
Truely great writing, a poem that makes you think as a parent and second guess your judgement. Is Micheal a loving father? I would say so, I think he is just a normal parnet who made a bad choice.
Blake's Garden of Love
Blake's Garen of love is very sad, where a beautiful garden once was now stand tomb stones and graves. The poem begins with a beautiful thought of a sweet garden then ends with his description of a grave yard with priest in black robes. The poem seems like it could have several underlying meanings, one of replacing natural beauty with this grave yard, one against religion one for freedom so many theories of what point he is trying to get across.
