I was feeling poetic so I started reading off poem titles that I felt spoke to me in some sense..
The title immediately caught my attention, its so earthy and so romantic. As I was reading I came to find that it wasn't. At least not as much as I expected. Wilbur uses great use of imagination to what I perceived he was translating as heavenly sleep. The way he describes the routine up in this heaven-like place with these angels makes you want to appreciate and anxiously await the nightfall so that you, too, could bask in this experience. I like how he takes you from one scene to the next, how sleep if followed by dreams, followed by awakening in this chronological order. Simple yet interesting how he spices up the routine with his choice of words.
This poem resembles a lot of my own, but in a more skilled way. My imagination could spin towards the same concept but the depth is far more thought-provoking.
*THUMBS UP FOR WILBUR*
