Help me analyze this poem

[Volcon]

I have to analyze and give a demonstration of this poem for my lit class, but i honestly suck at analyzing, can anyone here help me? The Lake Ted Hughes Better disguised then the leaf insect, A sort of subtler armadillo, The lake turns with me as I walk, Snuffles at my feet for what i might drop or kick up, Sucks and slobbers the stones, snorts through its lips Into broken glass, smacks its chops. It has eaten several my size Without developing a preference- Prompt, with a splash, to whatever i offer. It ruffles in its wallow, or lies sunning, Digesting old, senseless bicycles And a few shoes. The first down there Do not know they have been swallowed, Any more than the girl out there, who over the stern of a rowboat Tests its depth with her reflection How the outlets fears it-dragging it out, Black and yellow, a maniac eel, Battering it to death with sticks and stones! Also, what would be a way of presenting this with "imagery"

Well, at first reading, I'm getting the impression that the lake is being compared to a hungry monster...I don't have time to dig deep into this right now but maybe later I'll be able to have a better look. But yea, I think you'll be on the right track comparing the lake to a hungry monster.

Yeah i know that, she let me know that, but she says there more to it that i'm not seeing, she said "peel back the layers"

It's about how people blame things for their problems because they don't want to blame the real culprit, which is themselves. /end thread

Ted Hughes was a bastard. He made Sylvia Plath do it. The bastard.

Ted Hughes was a bastard. He made Sylvia Plath do it. The bastard. Sylvia Plath should have gone outside more instead of writing poetry and cutting herself.
