Week 1: Poetry

Of all the poems we read, the one that caught my eye the most was the poem titled "Tell me What you Know about Dismemberment", It really made me think about what it meant, A LOT! At the beginning it says "When it rains, the grass is filled with blood", the thought of war and what causes it came to mind; like a terrorists attack or something. The author also speaks of the wombs of Hindu women being cut out after they are raped and placed on a pole. This makes me think of the combat aspect of war. When innocent people are killed, just to prove a point. She speaks of rain and the many different rains at the end of this poem. This made me think of the closing of war and it being added to the history books with all the other wars.
