Discovery

These poems about love are the only ones i understand. Discovery is a love poem about a couple laying in bed sleeping. In the story both man and women believe that there loved one has fallen asleep. " and when i thought she slept, I too fell asleep." He could not fall asleep until he was sure that she was asleep. It just shows that the guy really cared for her and it relaxed him enough to fall asleep after watcing her fall asleep. Later on he knows that she was not asleep and was watching him the whole time. " feeling for the heat which would reveal how long she had looked and cared." "The bulb was hot." "It burned my hand." He knew she had been watching him for a long time after feeling the light bulb was hot because the longer the light bulb is on the hotter it gets. The meaning of the poem seems to be that how much these people care about each other.
