*CakeB* "Anniversary Reviews" Open in new Window. is celebrating A QUARTER CENTURY of Writing.Com!*CakeP*


The title piqued my interest, but it was the description that lured me in with it's promise of "Walk Whitman-esque" style poetry.

I can most certainly feel the influence of Whitman, the rhythmic beat, the free form style, the punctuation, the depiction of Americana, the naturalistic approach to the poem.

I liked taking the journey through America, and I especially liked this description: "I admir’d the raw power of the Mississippi, glistening in the sunset,"

I visualized a massive river, the water rolling with the sunset reflecting off the gentle waves. That's nature - pure, live, and raw.

I also liked the reference links at the bottom to Whitman's poetry.

My only suggestion, and this is minor, is to include a depiction of the southwest and the desert environment of Arizona as reference perhaps because it is such a vital part of the American landscape.
