To His Coy Mistress

I thought this poem was fantastic. A bit lengthy, but with a good message. Carpe Diem, seize the day, was the overall message of the story and it hit close to home. I thought that the boy in the poem was a realist and he knew that if the women did not decide soon if she loved him or not then it would be too late. Although, most people in their youth do not usually think like this, the fact that this character does is what makes him unique. His mentality that promotes living each day to the fullest is a breath of fresh air in comparison to some of the characters that we have been introduced to lately.
