Notes on poems
FRUED
This poem is rather unusual with several contradictions. It reflects to me that contact has been lost with mom and that she has been tramped on, criticized by the younger generation and rejected by the son. Private thoughts in poem by author analyzing relationship (son & mom) based on Freud's theories.
Troubled relation between son & parents - indication of abuse
and son lack of wishing to put up with the abuse anymore.
Therapy received and reception eagerly welcomed.
Also, there is a lot of play on words throughout - unclear and clear - dad has been retired out of son's life.

APPARITION
This poem reflects that traditions are being forgotten and norms discarded. Also, that as times goes by a person (elderly person) becomes apathetic and tired of trying to continuously fight and then life changes channels and meets youth. A refreshing change that stirs interest in life torn and almost gone but living true to his life the young man perceived as a country "hick" brings to life a strange thing that he has become the poem and the poem he.

HOW IT WILL END
This poem reflects the nature of man to be invasive and speculatory in situations that don't concern them. Indicated is the reading of false signals and poorly attributing their interpretations and then subsequently coming to an argument themselves about the scenario by revealing characteristics in each other that they dislike and the start of making it a personal vendetta against each other. Consequently, this poem just let you know that "a person's business" is everyone business.
Concrete, Allegory, Hyperbole
GETTING SERIOUS
This poem reflects that most people are doing a lot of soul searching (looking for salvation) which I feel the author or writer is doing so. The author's need for being right with God is tantamount an uppermost and is also a priority of other people also.
Further reflected is as we age we become absent-minded, forgetful, unsure and uncertain and also reflected is the author's past and present with good deeds done as well as questionable deeds.

BLACK SNAKE
This poem brings the image of a frightening scenario of a poisonous snake that appears from nowhere rippling, slippery with menace. Danger and sure death quick vile cold with pain is sure to come with bite. Also, this poem just reflects that no matter how secure a house is kept danger is always lurking around the corner. Further, relayed is that a snake can shed its skin - but will it ever change? Transparent trappings dark clear and yet the nature is empty like the author unknown, unfathomable because it reflects a difference each time.
