My Favorite By Arthur Rimbaud

After reading Arthur Rimbaud's work, I realized that he's probably my favorite poet that we've read thus far. He seems to be big on lies and personification, which are my two favorites in poems. I love when poets are creative in their own way, and I think when using lies and personification, poets get to be especially unique due to the fact that there probably isn't any other person who would come up with that same lie. My favorite poem by Rimbaud was "Dawn". It instantly reminded me of a fairy tale, and was so happy and merry. I immediately painted a picture in my head of the scene that seemed to be extremely pleasant. The ending kind of stunk for me because it appears that it was all a dream, which was a major let down. Rimbaud make it very clear of what is going on in the poem, which I obviously love. I actually enjoyed reading Rimbaud's work, unlike a lot of other poets because of this. For example, I had trouble making out a picture and understanding Stevens' work, except for "Metaphors of A Magnifico". I really liked this one, although I'm pretty sure we read this one in class before.
