Southern+Summer

I read the poem by Lisa Kendrick. The poem is caklled "Southern Summer". The poem is talking about a summer in the south. I think she is from the south and she want to tell people what it is like in the summer.

The poem is a free verse. It has five stanzas and no ryme scheme. In this poem there is a simile, like t he deep summer night envelops me like a costly cloak of billowing satin. Also it has personification, a southern breeze that waltzes amongst old warehouses and antique shops. This poem has a lot of imagary. Ex: velvet black sky and dirty cotton clouds.

I think the theme of the poem is summer. In conclusion this is a good poem. I think this relates to everyone who has experiened a summer in th south. People who do not live in the south can get an feeling of what the summer is like.
