Evaluate the overall connotation of the poem "Invitation" whether it is positive or negative or based on the author's word choice.

"If you are a dreamer, come in,

If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,

A hoper-er, a prayer-er, a magic bean buyer. . .

If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire

For we have some flax-golden tales to spin.

Come in!

Come In!"

• Positive

• Negative
