Poetry responses to A life misunderstood and I have seen

I really like the Poem A life misunderstood by Sophie Roberts, Throughout the poem she has great imagery and alliteration, I especially like the line when she says "I feel squished by fingers as fat as sausages". The poem is great and I really get the feeling of disgust when I read it because of her word choices and how she describes everything. I also love the line "I hear gags caused by revolting smell" . I love this type of poem because it takes an abstract noun and makes it seem like its a person, and it talks about what that abstract noun does. I really like the ending of Sophie's poem because it really satisfies the reader and gives them something to really think about after reading the poem.
I also really like the poem I have seen by Tia Collins, She also includes great imagery throughout the poem, It is great and it seems like the noun that she used  was Happiness, because every verse has an event that are known to make people happy. I also really like how at the end of each line there is an approximate rhyme, I especially like the line when she says "In rain soaked earth a budding flower", I do think that she should change the verb used somewhere in the poem because she keeps it as I have seen through the entire thing. I also really like how Tia makes all of the lines rhyme but she manages to make them all fit together really well. Like Sophie's poem it had a satisfying ending and gave the reader something to think about.
