This is just perfect! Very understandable explanation; thank you so much!
I agree, for me it is also a pleasant memory of a child.

I love this poem! I think it is a father and son playing. everyone else in my class thinks this is about an abusive father :(

Nice video. I'm enjoying your channel.
When I teach this poem, I like to point out the connection between form & content. Roethke gave each line 3 beats purposely because he's writing about a waltz, which musically has 3 beats per measure -- it's a 3 step dance.

Thank you so much...I've had many a discourse about this poem and so many lean towards it portraying an abusive Father...I feel as you do..(loving play).but I reason that todays society hears the words whiskey,knuckle or beat in the same context,they only asume the worst...
