Romantic Poem Reflection

One of the poems we read this week called "The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls" was a really interesting poem for me to read. The symbolism that the author used was very intriguing. The fact that he repeated the phrase "The tide rises, the tide falls" let me know that that was the main message of the poem. I liked how he used repetition to get his point across. I also enjoyed the message that the author gave to his readers. The message that no matter what, life goes on, and we need to keep moving!
