For My Daughter MQ

This poem is written in the form of an english sonet with 14 lines and ending with a rhyming couplet. It also is written in iambicpentameter the form preferred by shakespeare. but apart from form this is an extremely dark poem, fillled with wourds and phrases that instill images of darkness and death in my mind. Phrases like "the nights slow poison" or with the alliteration " seaweed snarled these miniatures of hands" really provide dark imagery for the reader. throughout the poem the author is referring to the darknesses of the world that he sees waiting for his daughter. he says that she will not heed the hints of death and that the cold wind blow her hair and he hands are snarled in seaweed meaning that she is being effectively corrupted by the cold dark world as has no idea that it it happening. he says that she will begin to relish the agonyof others after being fed with the hate of teh worldand that she may end up marrying either someone with an std, pressumable reffering to a promiscous person, or a fool. He ends by saying how he has no daughter and he doesnt desire one wich could mean one of two things, either he genuinely doesnt like his daughter for some reason or, he loves her so much that e doesnt want her to have to live through the evils of the world.
