Funeral Blues

My favorite poem is "Funeral Blues" by W. H. Auden. I liked this poem because when i first began to read it I did not think it was about his lover. Then the poem became very personal. I loved the stanza especially the lines where he says " He was my North, my South, my East and my West". That line right there explains how much his lover meant to him. It shows so much love and strength in that line. I really liked this poem because he made it clear how much in love he was with his lover.
