One Art

One Art by Elizabeth Bishop really puzzled me. I am not sure what exactly the whole point of the poem is. I feel she is trying to say that losing something isn't hard but realizing it isn't a disaster is what people struggle with. I know that if I lost my keys I would spend hours looking for it, and I would definitely consider that a disaster. Bishop is right though it really is not a disaster, its not the end of the world. Even larger loses are not a disaster. I almost feel that Bishop is telling her readers to chill, a loss is not the end of the world just be happy with what you have and move on. Everything will be ok.

I am interested to see what we discover about this poem tomorrow in class, and see what we decided the main message is to it.
