Late number 3

Oh No by Robert Creeley is a simple yet interesting poem. The main idea from the poem is death isn't really that bad. Once you've died you make it to wherever you believe in and your friends will be there waiting for you. Your chair will be nice. The poem is the authors interpretation of death and what happens when you die. Once you make it where you're going you will belong there as do your friends, and it's a good place because your friends are smiling and happy to see you. Robert Creeley was an American author who wrote poems and books. The style of the poem is short it is only two quatrain stanzas. There is only one comma and one period at the end of the poem. The first stanza describes the distance you go to get "there" and the second stanza describes the people and the place in short description. Oh No is an interesting title because it almost seems irrelievent to the poem, but maybe just maybe it's how the person started on the journey in an accidental way. Either way the title contributes to the poem in some way. The poem just doesn't seem to go further than that.
