Free Union

http://jilliansaw1.blogspot.com/2008/02/free-union-by-andre-breton.html I agree with jillian, I too thought that it was a bit to unromantic and almost creepy. I for started am not a fan of poems in general I never understand the underlieing purpose or message, but I just thought that the different things he was talking about seemed to over the top. There were some beautiful lines which I liked dont get me wrong, but overall this piece was not my favorite because I felt that his ideas were not organized as well as they could have been and I felt that he was writing about things that most people couldnt relate to especially with the word beauty or love. The most vivid part where I felt that he took it past the idea of loving everything about her was when he was talking about her armpits I particularly didnt like that because armpits are not a flattering part on a woman's body and he could have found more flattering and gentle or lovely things to talk about that would create and related to a more romantic and lady like image in the readers mind.
