Reading As A Writer -- Poetry

I really enjoyed reading Anne section's poem The Statty Night. It was written very beautifully. I admired the little details that I didn't really catch onto the first time reading it. For example, the way she said "this is how I want to die" ending in a period the first time. Here she described the tree laying int the water and looking up to the stars as if it were drowning. It's a beautiful image but I know hat she does not literally Mean that she wants to drown. In the last part she says again "this is how I want to die:" and uses a colon instead of a period. Following she says:

"Into that rushing beast of the night,

sucked up by that great dragon,

to split from my life with no flag,

no belly no cry"
