My favorite poem form the poetry we have been covering in class recently is The Scent of Verbena.
I think that the strange structure of the poem is relative to the growing intensity of the content, and it really brings your focus to the poem itself. In the begin of them poem, the author describes a man and his companion, the companion obviously holds a resentment against this man and the eventually kills him or says that he will die soon. I've never read a poem quite like this one. It's very eerie and unlike most poems, it involves the concept of revenge and murder.
