Poetry by Marianne Moore

This poem was difficult at first to understand, to me that is how most poetry is. Once it is broken down and thought about it is a little easier to see the true meaning of this poem, but that is exactly what this poem is about. It is about understanding poetry and gettin it down to its raw meaning. The quote which says "Imaginary gardens with real toads in them" to me explains poetry perfectly. At first it may seem like the poem is imaginary or not real, but in the end there is a real meaning in the poem somewhere.
