Categorize the images and feelings created by the figurative language. Are they positive or negative?

I want them to
waterski

across the surface of a poem
waving
at the author's name on the shore.

But all they want to do
is tie the poem to a chair with rope
and
torture
a confession out of it.

They begin
beating
it with a hose
to find out what it really means.
