I enjoyed the poem, because I feel as if it means that money don't make
happiness and that's what the problem is in todays world. Everyone wants
money not happiness.

I'm not going to go over the entire poem, but I would like to say that I
had to analyize this poem for school, and I also had to write a parody of
it. The basic point that Robinson is trying to get across is that even
though people may seem to have everything, they still may be lacking in one
or more areas. The lack of mention of family members alludes to the fact
of a lonely person. The fact of the suicide happening on a summer night
also alludes to the loneliness in its own little way. Many people say that
summer nights are the most romantic. It only makes sense that he would
kill himself on a summer night if he was a lonely person. Just something
to think about. There are several other things alluded to in the poem. In
example, Robinson uses the use of language to give the illusion of a rich
king.

I really enjoyed the poem. It takes you from a well-amdired man of the town
to a dead man. I like how the author does a complete turn around and shocks
his readers. It makes us all ask ourselves "I wonder what he was missing in
his life?" And thats the best part of poetry, the author leaves us with no
answers so that we may make our own interpretations and use our
imagination!

I like the comment that someone made that the title of the poem is a pun in
that it is saying "rich hard", implying how hard it is to be rich. The poet
has indeed captured the essence of the some people's idealogy that "the
grass is greener on the other side". As we all know it is a great big irony
for most time it only looks green from afar but far from looking green.

I think this poem creates a realistic view of life. Although a person has
wealth or power, a higher status above others, he can still share the same
problems. It doesn't matter what you do to try to fill a void in your
life. It is you who stares back through the mirror everyday.

this poem relates alot to us humans in real life as we tend to envy our
fellow brethren for he/she has, not realizing that they may not be enjoying
the life that they have and may even want to trade with you for a day in
your shoes, to see life the fun, unsophisticated way, eith no-one wanting
what you have and with no-one only being your frind because of what you
have.

It is a great poem and now I have to do a lit anal. on it but it was great
w a theme of money doesn't equal happiness supported by the isolation of
he, the irony, and the past tense of the poem. I think everyone should
read it. IT really portrays the let down of the Amreican Dream.

I too like most, was given this poem to identify the claim from my EN1105
class. The claim I get is every thing that glitters ain't gold. And he most
likely admired those whom admired him more than they would ever know!
