Chrysanthemums by Spencer Reece-
In the poem it tells about a boy who has been badly burned and is going through debridement which is the surgical removal of dead tissue. I think the poem is written from the view point of a nurse or medical assistant who takes their mind off the horrors and sadness in the hospital by focusing on other things. In this story they focus on the living chrysanthemums outside the window to have a brief mental escape from the drama inside the hospital.
The Other Cold War by Adrian Blevins
In this poem the girl is talking about how she can tempt and hurt boys so easily. It says that she doesn't know how she possesses this power to turn the m and and them turn away from them so easily and break their hearts. How she went from being an innocent baby to a hormonal teenager. I think the imagery in this poem is great, the moon, and the dixie cup comparisons being my favorite.
