you fit into me

you fit into me
Margaret Atwood

you fit into me
like a hook into an eye

a fish hook
an open eye

I read this poem a couple of times and I came to find that this poem is really not talking about how to people are meant for each other but how they are not. As we talked in class we know that there is a clip or button on mostly womens clothing and it is known as a hook in an eye. Something ironic in this poem is that it is saying that you fit with me well but also like a fish hook in an open eye and we all know that that is not comfortable. So maybe this is trying to say that the couple may look like they are right for each other but in the long run they really were not made out for each other. This poem by Margaret Atwood is very simple poem constructed of two stanzas and four line with no punctuation, with each stanza meaning something different. This poem may not have a lot of words but it does have a very deep meaning because I do believe that a lot of people think that they have found there partner but to only find out that it was like a hook in an eye.
