"What care the Dead, for Chanticleer" by Emily Dickinson http://www.americanpoems.com/poets/emilydickinson/10544
in this poem, she states the different seasons in the poem. to me shes trying to ask what is th meaning of caring for them then they have nothing. they cant do anything

Hearts of Gold -Sherry York
Why Do I do This? -Ashley Lipscomb
An Old Lady's Poem -no author
Dedicated To The Man I Never Knew -Pauline Hamblin
all these poems were by different nurses from across the country. a lot of the messages were that even though they dont perosnally know of their lives other then they were sick. they have connections towards them and grieve in their own ways/

I Shall Not Care -Sara Teasdale
i thought that this poem was trying to get at what the world and people would be like when she is dead.

Caring For a Dead Fish -Pete Crowther
even thought that this poem wasnt about caring for the dead person, it was about caring for a dead fish. in the poem, he talks about who should care for one? a lot of people care for the death of their pet along with a person especially if they see the animal as part of the family.

Mankind Dead Needs Nothing/Sharing is Caring -no author

this poem talked about feeling like they are dead before even dying. it talks about respect and treating people the way you want to be treated.

I Want To Say. - By Anonymous
I'm Ready To Give Up -by anonymous
Life Isn't Fair -By Shayleigh Bray
a lot of these poems talk about the personal emotion they feel when they loose someone close to them and how they act or deal with it.

I HOLD YOU -Elsa Schieder
in this poem, i liked how it seemed like she was talking towards the person that died. she was telling them that she will always carry them in her heart, and soul. they will always be with her

Heavenly Father -author unknown
Unable are the Loved to die -Emily Dickinson
in these last view poems, they are very short and sweet, especially the on by Emily Dickinson. it was about four lines but it went right to the point about how i would feel when someone dies.

looking up all of these poems, i noticed that there are a lot of different ways people view death. some are very sad, and a lot of these poems connect back to emotions and sadness and how they cry and dont want to let go of the person. but at the same time, some people get over it quickly and think that it was nothing serious. also that people dont just grieve over people. they also about animals.

like i said earlier, depending how close people are to their family pet, that right there could be a huge deal to the person. because that pet symbolized a person, or was taking up the space in the persons heart for someone else. for example if a lady's husband dies, she went out and bought a dog for her and the kids. 13years later, the dog dies and now its hard on them again.
