Heather: i actually really like the way Ezra writes. He does make me visualize what he is talking about, and/or looking at as he is writing this. When he talks about the black panther and the white girl, it robs everything else around him of color. To me, it makes me think of how dominant the black and white are. The fact that he used "panther" and "leopard" as animals is like a rough soft touch. Both of these animals are cute and cuddly but very visious. They are beautiful animalss but you cant trust them. Saying that the white girl is coming down from the tree, makes me foreshadow and wonder what the animals will or wont do.

A Ballad of a Mulberry Road: i really like this poem. The first verse talks solomly of the young pretty girl. He really describes the way she does things. Her hair, how its on the left side of her head with a headpiece. The way he makes the reader imagine what the basket looks like, and how she holds it on her shoulders. The second verse talks more about what she looks like. The color of her skirts, her earrings, and the way she makes the boys look at her. By this poem, you can tell she is very attractive and makes heads turn. Not one time did he say anything about that in this poem. Yet the way he describes everything, you get that understanding.

Ezra on the Strike: this poem is one of those autobiography poems. He is writing about his strike and the United States portion of his life. He really does describe about Thanksgiving coming soon, and the days and nights getting colder, coal getting cheaper and turkeys more expensive.
