Classmate Response: Week 7 - David's Poem 'Fak-shalaak-Quack'

I thought David's poem was very interesting. He had some very interesting lines and I especially liked the line, "Wrestle the dog with sterile talons that glint brightly in the light of the interrogation room." He uses a lot of unusual language and really good imagery. I liked the two line stanzas and I think the line breaks in the poem works really well too. I’m not quite sure what the poem is supposed to mean though, but I think that might just be me because sometimes it takes me a long time to understand a poem. But I liked that I couldn’t understand it the first time around, it just makes it more interesting and gives me something to think about. If I am to make a suggestion, I would say he can maybe try and add a few more lines that might help better understand the poem.
