First Poem For You by Kim Addonizio

The poem I have chosen to write about in my blog is the poem"First poem for You by Kim Addonizio. I chose this poem because out of all the poems that I have read this is the poem that caught my attention. This poem brings a romantic message that exemplifies love between two people.The speaker likes to be intimate with his or her significant other. The speaker likes to feel the love between them physically and mentally. The speaker wants to fell every touch of the body,feel every ink that is on the body and hear every heartbeat that is taken place. 

The quote that I chose that sends this message begins with "when i pull you to me,taking you until we're spent and quiet on the sheets,i love to kiss the pictures in your skin.They'll last until you're seared to ashes; whatever persists or turns to pain between us,they will still be there. This quote is simply stating the love of tattoos that the speaker feels when he or she sees it on his or her significant others body. the speaker loves to touch the tattoos,kiss the tattoos and be able to hold the persons body close to them. 

The speaker is saying that regardless of whatever they go through or the hurt that they encounter in the relationship,the tattoos will always remain there. The tattoos will last forever.One image that i think would fit this poem are two people that gazing into each others eyes or laying down on each other and expressing the love that they have with each others tattoos.A couple that are kissing or touching their other half tattoos.This poem describes a person that is in love with his or her significant others tattoos. 

This is a women or man with various amounts of tattoos that have true meaning to them, someone with tattoos that exemplifies love. a human being that is happy and is in love with their other half. This poem is a message that states the love of tattoos on a human beings body.A love that is so strong that it is unbreakable. The love of the tattoos that will never disappear. If i could email this poem to anyone i would email  this to my boyfriend because this poem explains the love of tattoos on a persons body and i love the tattoos that my boyfriend has on his.All of his tattoos have meaning to them it is a beautiful thing to admire. i love seeing the tattoos on his skin because i am infatuated with art. i believe tattoos is a good way to express yourself and who you are as a person. tattoos may seem drastic but i love them.

  2. I don't necessarily agree with all that you're saying. I'm presenting this poem for a class, so I've done a lot of research. The main focus of the poem isn't about the love of the tattoos, but instead how terrified she is to commit to this man. It was easy for him to commit to his tattoos, but although she loves him, she's scared of the permanence of the relationship.
