A Valediction: Forbidden Mourning Good or Bad?
This poem seemed very bad at first, but once i understood the words and the meaning it was really good. Donne used metaphors an similies to describe how to people's love can stay together in ways i did not know could be done. He is a good poet and knows how to put his words together in ways most writers can't.

Kerth- I think that this poem is a good poem because not only does it show love between two sould apart but it tells us to grow a thicker skin when it comes to mourning the loss of a loved one. I feel that donne is telling us that time apart from a person we love actually makes the relationship stronger when they come back if they are indeed able to comback. I think that Donne is not talking so much about death but more about not being with someone who have loved for a long time. He only seems to mention death in the beginning of the poem and then at the end he uses the theme of love to show tht we are not away from our companions forever.
