Edward

The poem "Edward" is exremely wierd. I do not really know what to think of it, and the fact that the writer is anonymous makes it even creepier. Edward seems to have killed his father and is now contemplating suicide. He uses himself as an apostrophe throughout the poem. He directly addresses himself after making confessions of killing things. I also believe the poem gains something from what is not told. It never says how he kills his father or how he will kill himself. The lack of a weapon allows the reader to interpret what Edward may have used as an instrument of death.
