My First Morning in New York City
by Rich Accetta-Evans
The sleeping-bag was soft on the bare wood floor
And I might have slept for an hour more
But I was wakened by a flashing light
From the silvery bellies of pigeons in flight
Who turned and turned and turned in the sky
And looked so pretty it made me cry.
Title: I think the author is going to describe his first night in NYC
Paraphrase: This poem is pretty straight forward it is describing the authors first night in NYC in a few simple sentences but allows you to create an image.
Connotation: Rhyme: the author uses rhyme in order to create a catchy poem. Imagery: by describing the color of the pigeons it creates an image in the readers head allowing them to go to where the author is describing.
Tone: The tone is reflective. The author is looking back and describing a night that is obviously important to him
Shift: There isn't really a shift in this poem, for the most part it is just describing a scene.
Theme: The author is describing an important night, being reflective.
