"My brother's heart barely feeds two" (handout). This poem made me giggle. The speaker has a sort of whimsical, "if only I could" sort of tone. What I'm getting from the poem is that she doesn't like what her sister says. Maybe they have differing opinions, or maybe her sister just doesn't say nice things. But then in the second stanza, the tone changes a bit. There is still this whimsicalness to it, but also a bit more serious. Maybe her brother is not at all a nice person in the slightest. She seems to be more playful about her sister's stanza. In the brother's stanza I get a "I really don't like him" kind of vibe.
