No ICE in The STREETS
Spring is around the corner
Pretty soon
There will be no more ice and werewolves in the streets
Gone will be all types of fire power and terror
Gone will be the bullies, the thugs and the creeps
In the nick of time, when the soil is hot and steamy
All the goons, bandits and henchmen will be gone
Disappeared and dysfunctional like a dirty
And rusty gun
I cannot wait, I cannot wait
No more executions, tears, chaos and hate.

▾ This Poem's Voice
Your Poem's Voice
Personal longing for change mixed with universal social ills; largely concrete imagery.
Dense accumulation of evils and antagonists; multiple ideas stacked rapidly throughout.
Negative subject matter but hopeful tone; anticipation of redemption dominates ending.
Urgent repetition, exclamation, rapid-fire list of threats; kinetic and propulsive throughout.
Approximately 11 lines of core poem; falls in 7-15 range.
Simile with gun; personification of spring; some metaphorical language but mostly declarative.
Pure lyric internal voice; direct first-person emotion and desire; no dramatic distance.
