I liked this poem because of the very light subject matter. I chose the poem during the time we were going through the transition between good and bad weather. I thought this would be perfect to illustrate the side of Syracuse we all wish lasted longer.

In general, poetry is interpreted differently by every reader. But the strength of this poem is that it is very straight forward. I liked that I could pick a poem that would be hard to offend the poet with my misinterpretation. The street is no place in particular. It is like many in Syracuse. The houses are like those around campus and so anybody who lives in Syracuse can relate to it.
