"I am Offering This Poem" by Jimmy Santiago Baca / Classwork


The emotion that "I am Offering This Poem" by Jimmy Santiago Baca expresses is love and that all you need is a relationship that has to do is eachother and support. For example, in this story he tells her that all he can offer is a pot full of yellow corn. This shows that a person that loves you will only give you what you need and to satisfy you. In addition, the man has true feelings for this woman and will offer all he has to keep her. This shows that love is peaceful and romantic but not a fantasy.That's why the emotion of this poem was strong to him and was written to her.
