The Silken Tent

During our class discussion about the significant words in the poem The Silken Tent I chose the word bondage. The main reason why I chose this word because its literal meaning is force and strength.  At first the poem was bit confusing, I wasn’t sure what the author was talking about and who it was directed to. Fortunately, the class discussion cleared up any confusion I had with the poem. Although I’m still trying to fully figure out the poem, I believe its about a woman who is in a relationship with a man but is haunted by past loves and experiences.
