What a loveliest naughtiest poem, a flirting one, but true mesmerizing and captured wel. This poem shows the trails of a CLASSIC POETESS. A 10 Topscore and much much more. By using the Anaphora, the reader gets a sensual and touching poem. Dear Mrs. Atwood, last year December or Nov 2019, you have been interviewed by our Dutch newspaper called NRC Handelsblad, perhaps a latest novel of you would be published, am not sure

It's not necessary to pause after each line of poetry

It is not that easy to understand the poem though it looks very simple. Atwood has the uncanny knack of composing poems the meaning of which will be hidden and the reader has the liberty to deduce the meaning as far his imagination can go.

This is an amazing poem. To what extant the poet prevails over her unidentified subject through self-abnegation is for the individual reader to determine, according to his or her degree of cynicism. But it can be happily read at face value. Has a mythic scariness. MM
