Analysis and comments on Encouraged by Paul Laurence Dunbar

Comment 2 of 2, added on March 16th, 2006 at 7:52 AM.

I did not like this poem I dont think Paul Laurence Dunbar makes any sense
when he writes his poems he is not on his own level when he is writing his
poems i think he writes kiddy poem even little kids will fall asleep when
they read his poems I just don't think he is a good poet he really needs to
give up poetry and try to focus his talent on something else because i
don't think poetry is his thing. To me if it didn't catch my eye that means
i didn't like it and i thought that they should have never been published i
think that back than that may have been a good poem but now its just
nothing good about it and sorry to say when you write a poem I think first
you should ask yourself will this catch the readers eyes but i also think
that i can write a better poem than you that is just how i feel deep down
inside and that is what your suppose to do you are suppose to reach deep
down on the inside and find your true feelings and make a poem out of that
than see how far it will take you.

The poem sounds to me as if he were righting it for someone who has great
fath in him.
