Response to My Papas Waltz, by Theodore Roethke.

                 My papas Waltz is a great poem, and i think that Theodore Roethke did a good job writing and constructing it. I love the rhyming, and the rhythm. This poem inspired me a lot and will influence my poems a lot. The only aspect that I'm not too in to is the fact that we are talking about the back round story. In my opinion, a poem is a poem, its a freez in time, and describes a moment, or a made up senerio. When Theodore Roethke probably didn't think about a whole back round and life story of the characters in the poem, i think he just sat down and wanted to write a poem that rhymes and has a good rhythm.
