The Street response

While looking at the illustration, I was trying to figure out who was the main focus of the poem going to be. but there was too much going on in the picture. Then when reading the poem, it was exactly how the illustration is. Moving from one person to another, watching them go about there day and not be disturbed by other on the street, just a normal day for these people.  This poem is also a great example of city streets like New York City. Everyone going about their day, not paying attention to others beside, in front or behind them. Just concern with what they have to do

This poem isn’t a rhyming poem, but it does have a pattern. With each paragraph starts with one person on the street and tells the readers what they are doing. Then it concludes with them and another paragraph starts with a new person on the street. I think that if this poem didn't have the illustration next to it, it would be confusing for the reader. But I think that people might read this poem as a busy day in a city or town. I am glad that the illustration was there, when I read the next paragraph, I would look back at the illustration and find the person I am reading about.
After reading this poem, it made me re-think about writing poems. I know that not all poems are meant to rhyme. But also how poems have a different format/ pattern in telling the story. Also in how the poem is being told. Like this poems was told as an observation of the people, not by the people themselves.
