i am writing to you about funeral blues.Reading this poem made me understand how he felt because death is something we all go through.Every line the poet wrote I understood how he felt. My favourite line was "he was my north,my south,my east and my west" that line meant the person was everything to him. I can relate so much to this poem. Thank you very much for writing this poem.

Dear Seamus Heaney,
My favourite poem that we've studied by you was ''Midterm break''
I thought this poem was very sad and well written.I think a lot of people could relate to this poem if they had lost a loved one before.My favourite part of the poem was the last part ''A four foot box, a foot for every year''

Dear Mr. WH Auden

I am writing to you about your poem funeral blues.
In my opinion funeral blues is my favourite poem. It is my favourite poem because I can relate so much to it. I can relate a lot to this poem because I think the subject matter of this poem is death. Death is something everyone has to face during your life. I have recently lost someone close and your poem was very similar to the way you worded and explained how you feel.
My favourite lines of this poem are 'He was My North, My South, My East, My West' which is your everything and that is how I feel. Your poem is so moving and touching. I really enjoyed and like reading this peom.

your sincerely,
Leah

My favorite poem was "Funeral Blues" by W.H. Auden. I liked it because it's sad and dramatic about the feelings of the author, also I find that it is well written.

Dear William Wordsworth

We are your biggest fans. Your poems make us feel that we can actually see what is happening . Our favourite poem is "The daffodils".

We adore the way you use alliteration and personification . Eg ." tossing there heads in spritly dance".It in spired us to write our own poem. Thank you.

Your sencerly

Dear Mr. WH Auden
I have recently read your poem with my English class the other day. I am sure that most people can relate to this because I think the subject matter of this poem is death. This poem is memorable and enjoyable to read. My favorite line is ''He was my north, my south, my east and west''. This meant that he is your everything. Thanks for your time.

your sincerely,
