Is my punctuation correct?

"Because I Could Not Stop Death" seems like a pleasant and comforting poem. Because, inson uses Death as a metaphor as well as a personification. The way that she describes Death, doesn't seem grim or scary, but sounds like a civil/nice person (line 8). There are multiple images captured this her poem; most significant would be the carriage. This can also be represented by imagery, as well as symbolism, because Death and her are in a carriage. While, in the carriage Death has several stops along the way, which are past memories throughout her life, leading her to her death. The interpretation for the poem would be that, at the end she accepts that she dying, and Death doesn't have be painful or agonizing, it can pleasant.
