Burlap Sack

When I think of burlap I think of a sack of potatoes because to me burlap is a type of material in which the trees are wrapped in or what people use to carry such thing. The way it was used in the poem Burlap Sack I feel as if it were baggage, baggage like that of what a person carries with them their whole lives because of mistakes. When the writer wrote " Heavier if left out in the rain." means the more you let a problem linger the heavier it will get. Also when the writer writes"What would it be to take the bride and leave behind the heavy dowry?" to me means to take the bride but not any of the joys that should come with a wife, to leave what a wife brings with her. and the last line to I gives a feeling of finally letting go and being happy.
