My remarks on Marks

The poem “Marks” seems to be somewhat depressing. I have found that a lot of the poems we have been reading all have turned out being sad. I find this quite odd. I cant believe that that her husband actually grades her on the tasks done. Especially grading her performance I bed, I would be outraged if my significant other graded me on what I did around the house or my sexual performance. If my own children graded me, well, that would probably be very sad. Mostly if my grades where like the ones that the children give out in the poem. It makes perfect sense that she would “drop out” after the marks she got from her loved ones.
