"after Ed Robertson poem"

The freeways clear during evening times as people pass with a blind eye to the obvious. The bridge lays quietly with dirt and dust praying to one day be used less frequently. A man walk under the bridge quietly with out noise. He then lays down and is unnoticed as a the sun is at night. Night, a time where many sleep, others are up and death is on its job. We look with a blind eye as death does as it swallows you hole and without remorse. A man sleeps on bricks and stone as a bed. He lays under concrete as a quilt to a child to gain rest. We pass by as the freeway clears during evening time as people pass with a blind eye to the obvious.

City Eclogue reading assignment blog

Reading city eclogue gave me new approaches to comroehending and writing my own material. They way he uses his words and compounds his sentences is unlike anything I've ev read before. I've come o notice that he structures his sentences different than most poets. He sometimes start and/or finish his sentences in the middle of the page. Maybe to put an exclamation point on certain words and/or phrases to signify a more important or deeper meaning. I just thought that he was trying to keep the readers attention by mixing up the structure of the sentences. I also noticed he way he uses metaphors and/or analogies to get his point across. On page 18, in the poem called "Sequoia Sempervirens," he's uses squirelles, a tree and the city to show how people go about their everyday life collecting nuts and taking them to the city. This phrase could mean a number of things such as going to work and getting paid, or even doing good deeds. I think that his poems are some of the easier poems to dissect and get different meanings from.
