Many red devils

Many red devils ran from my heart
And out upon the page.
They were so tiny
The pen could mash them.
And many struggled in the ink.
It was strange
To write in this red muck
Of things from my heart.


This poem in many ways seems pretty dark but at the same time I really liked it and understood what she was meaning when she was writing this poem. This poem is just one simple stanza and has 8 lines in it. This poem is talking about how this poet,
Stephen Crane feels at this time in her life. When I read it it makes me feel that she is very upset at one person because of all the bad things that he or she has done to her in her life. I like how she described the devils as tiny because it makes me think that it was not just one thing that this person did but it was a lot of tiny different things and it finally sent her over the edge. Another piece I liked was how when we think of the devil we see him as red and she was writing in a red pin so i just adds to the events that led her to this poem. When she said it was strange in the 6th line I started to wonder that maybe she is not a cold hearted person and that is why it is strange coming from her heart, but she well nows it this it is time to let it out. In review i loved this poem because I felt that it had a lot of deep meaning
