The Halo That Would Not Light

The Halo That Would Not Light, was a brilliantly written poem, but it was hard to understand why she structured the poem the way she did. Some of the sentences were aligned differently than others. Im not sure if there was any significance to the structure but it was something that I noticed. Also it really helped once Elena talked about how the author wrote this poem, she wrote it in memory of a young child that had past away. When i read this story i viewed it as a child who was abused, i thought that the "halo that would not light" was the child that couldn't smile, or "live". i didnt view it as someone who past away i thought it was someone being robbed of her childhood in conclusion to the abuse. Either way it was viewed i thought it was the best poem within our packet. Not because it was sad or anything but it had more meaning, and not so many pointless metaphors like the others.
