I thought Twilight's Edward was bad

In a classic tale of woe and killers the reader finds the main character Edward. He spends the first couple of stanzas claiming to his mom that he killed is hawk and steed, to explain the blood. Might I mention that this boy must be quite wealthy for having a hawk, steed castles and a family. His mother nags and nags him waiting for him to tell the truth. The selfish son has killed his father and is feeling his grief. He tries to run away from the death that he causes, and it almost seems like his mother doesn't understand this. Like she wants death in this whole thing. Although Edward isn't the sharpest fork in the drawer, I would of worried as well if I was cursed to hell. I would desire death if my son was so inclined to kill and run, but alias she is only cursed.

A glance of the people in North London

In Lonely Hearts this poem's overall tone is of lost and lonely people. The 5 citizens are looking for love. The biker is lost, the gay vegetarian is lonely, the person desiring something new is stuck with the old, the straight is losing hope and the Liberian is inexperienced and scared. This poem repeats the lines "Do you Live in North London? Is it you?". Showing how together they are and close these people are. How these peoples have complex backgrounds but they only want love. Showing love holds no boundaries. It's for gays straights old and young. It's not biased, unlike stupid humans.
Let's hope that once these people look they find what they are looking for, able to see beyond their worlds to find love.

Please, please don't leave me

In "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night" the speaker speaks (imagine that) of death (as a side note what is with all of the death poetry Mr. Costello?). This poem has many paradoxes like "blinding sight" and "frail deeds". It's overall a paradox because it seems like a good night is something that one should go gentle into. How this speaker is literally begging someone not to die, and to not give up. To be wise good, wise or grave. How they aren't to be humble and die. Honestly isn't this something that is found in any situation with death, because death is a one way journey and people don't enjoy being left behind. Perhaps this person should allow their loved one to leave into the good night with humbleness, it seems like that would make goodbyes better.

What is so bad about Autumn Mr. Shakespeare?

In "That time of year", the speaker has reached a new place in his life. He's reached Autumn, and is using that as a metaphor for bad things in his life. How Autumn brings back horrible memories ( I would have bad memories if I had hair like you Mr. Shakespeare). how Autumn also brings a death of his joy (line 8) and youth. Perhaps he should go walk among the vibrant leaves to see Autumn for it's true colors. Sure with fall comes winter and death of nature, but it only ends in winter. Autumn is not a 2nd death dear sir. It's a complex sadness. Like he's almost resentful that it has to be this way, but doesn't wish to change it.
