Poem response #3

In the poem http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/20924 Tender Buttons [Chicken] it repeats "Chicken." a lot. I think when it says "Chicken." it is kind of saying chickens are boring that is why there is no exclamation point after chicken. The fourth line "Alas a dirty word, alas a dirty third alas a dirty third, alas a dirty bird." had a lot of assonance and repition. I think that the poem would make a good song and would have a good rhythm. There is some interior rhymes in the last line. In the last line I found it interesting that she did not make a new line after putting a period.
