One Art

I loved this poem. A lot of life is about losing, although some losses you never get over. It seems like just reading the poem that she gets over the loss, "even losing you..."
However when I heard her voice fill with sadness when she read One Art, shows me that there are some losses you never get over.. The death of a loved one by hard the most difficult.

This semester I lost my book....I got so upset, and my boyfriend said it's only a book. I thought it was an expensive thoughtless mistake. Then, I lost my grandfather this semester. I keep thinking about him, and then I realize that he is gone. I cannot imagine what my grandmother is going through, he was her life. My grandmother said,"As you get older death slaps you in the face." Now losing my book seems like no tradgedy.

Just like in the poem ...first she lost her keys then cities...etc...then the loss of a loved one "DISASTER"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
