Here,+Fred+Chappell

=== The poem, **//“Here”,//** is a short poem. This poem is very short and that means that it should probably have a good message to it. But I can’t understand the message that it is trying to say. Maybe if you read the poem you could find the message that it is trying to tell. ===

=== This poem has no rhyme; this makes this a free verse poem. This poem has no stanzas in it, but it does have eight lines. It also only has five sentences in it. This poem has no type of meter in it either. ===

=== However, this poem does have a lot of figurative language in it. In the third line of the poem there is personification were it says, “The lace is full of eyes, cold eyes”. The sixth line of this poem also has personification were it says, “And the ground begins to puff and suck with little holes”. In this line, the ground is being compared to a human painting and breathing hard because they are out of breath. The last two lines of this poem have foreshadowing in it were it says, “A man could live down here forever, were his blood is”. ===

=== This poem makes me think of a homeless person that lives in a forest. I think this because it says that all the eyes are staring at him. This makes me think that there are animals like owls, birds, lizards, and other wild animals all sitting in a tree and watching every move that the homeless person makes. I think that this homeless person lives in a big hole that was dug in the ground, or in a big oak tree that has been in the forest forever. ===
