Blog #5: Which poem are you using for your explication?

I am explicating the poem "Daddy" by Sylvia Plath.
----------------------------------------->
What attracted me to this poem was the personal emotions put into this poem by the poet. This poem is deelpy personal, discussing her relationships with men that result in betrayal, heartbreak, and even attempted suicide!
In another light, I might like this poem because it deals with overcoming a family member's death. Since I experienced the same thing, it is easier to relate to the poet's conflicting feelings in this poem.
