[New-Poetry] thoughts on elizabeth alexanders inaugural poem

[Millicent Accardi]

I think the poem WAS all encompassing, inclusive and covered where our country is at and the highlights of the day.? It caught the tone. It was a national poem. It covered the large and the small.? Written in plain language. Spoken well.? I think it fit the bill for the day but was not great.? Also, the audience did not react or recognize the ending. Which was kind of awkward.

what i found most effective was the combination of poor poetry with shots on CNN of the crowd dispersing. 



it wasn't much of a poem, was it.
