the first few lines of this peom are so beautiful, i cried the second i
read them for the first time.
i think she was a beautiful mind and a great voice for those who are
depressed in a world where depression is carried such a stigma.

Its not neccisarially about the first love, just how it feels when one
first falls in love with someone else. You wonder if it can be true, and
question constantly if this is real. This poem, I belive, focuses more on
unrequited love since she talks of the way he didn't return, and didn't do
as she had hoped. I like the poem, and although not my favorite work of
hers, its very very well done and probably the best is terms of style out
of all her work.

A first love always remains in a secret place in the heart.

Regardless of whether one can relate to the poem or not, regardless of
whether someone likes the theme or content of the poem, one thing all
reader's must be able to agree on is the beauty of the structure of this
poem. A villanelle is not an easy form to write, but Sylvia Plath executed
it greatly. Also, the lines she chose to repeat in her villanelle make it
an excellent poem, even sticking true to the first form of the lines,
including the parenthesis. The parenthesis also say something about her
meaning, in my opinion.

This poem is extremly touching... i do believe its about love but has
nothing to do with Ted hughes do to the simple fact that she had not met
Ted when she wrote this poem. its about her dreams and fears of love... but
can verywell still be interpreted as her feelings with ted later on even
though it was written a good two years before meeting him.

This poem is wonderful!! Then again, so is all of her work. But it was this
poem that touched me the most, laconic, yet so meaningful.

Derin, Sylvia Plath has no "bad poems." although i understand that not
everything is poetry, that's not the case with Ms. Plath. it seems like
she found an oasis in poetry. i can relate to her a lot, i know that sounds
dumb, but its true, and often times, putting thoughts into words helps. i
also agree with another reader that ms. plath was not speaking of love, but
of insanity. the "(i thought i made you up inside my head)" directly
pinpoints her insanity over men, or maybe a certain man. i think one of the
components that make her such a renowned writer is the portrayal of emotion
in these poems. poetry is like her diary, she has an entry for every
important and semi-important even in her life.

I think that this poem conveys a real sadness. A portrait of love painted
in her head, that didnt prevail. I adore this poem.

I love this poem. I love all of Sylvia Plath though and I don't think she
can ever go wrong. I know people criticize poetry and that depends whether
it's to their liking but I don't see how anyone can be judgmental of it
because it is the persons's feelings. Feelings cannot be helped. I love
reading of Sylvia Plath's emotions and can relate a lot to them. Something
about this poem make it my favorite.
