Kenneth's Critique of Amber's Poem

The brevity of this poem facilitates the reader’s interest. It has a unique shape that the contours of the collective stanza make a vase shape. Poems like these are incredible in the sense that they are visually appealing. With that said, I cannot find the subject of the poem to be clear to me. It has a feel of domestic violence, insecurity, and unhappiness. The tone of this poem is set, but it is not fully communicated in the length of the poem. To make this poem clearer, I suggest that more of the boy, the man that enters later and the reason the woman is waiting be expounded upon.
