My first reaction to this poem is it’s a good poem and it makes me feel clean. My feelings about it are that I like it because it’s a cute poem about a goddess or maybe a nymph. The only images that really stand out to me are peppermints and a bright and glowing moon. The most intriguing line of the poem is ‘The moon must taste like mint.’ None of the lines or stanzas was confusing to me; I understood the poem really well. The words that seem the most important are mint and moon I’m not really sure why but they seem really important.

My first reaction to this poem was wow! This poem is cool and it is very interesting I like it. The most interesting lines in this poem that is my favorite are “the moon must taste like a mint.” This poem is probably the best poem I ever read. I would recommend this poem to a friend because this poem is awesome. This poem would be great to read to little kids because they would think it is funny. Also they would enjoy this poem too. The word that was most important to me would have to be chaste. The words I can relate to is touch me if you dare….. Because at times I can be like that.

I really don’t know what this poem means. I thought it mint that the moon taste like a York paddies. I don’t really understand about a lot of poems. My first reaction was that I was going to get really bored because it was really long . I think the mood and the feeling is that someone wants to taste the moon. And to me that is pretty gross.

My first reaction about this poem is that it is about moon. It gives me a happy feeling. A pitcher of a moon stands out after reading this poem. I think the moon tastes like mint is my favorite line in this poem. It’s my favorite line because it sounds wired. Look in the palm of my left hand where the moon glows is the most confusing line in this poem. Moon, minty, stomach, and teeth are import words to me in this poem.
