I really enjoyed this poem. I liked the language and the structure, but also that it wasn't too structured by rhyme or rhythm. The arrangement of words was beautiful. I read a few of the sections over a few more times after reading it because I found them particularly fascinating or wonderful in some way. I read the first sections a few extra times, and also XXXI and XXXII because for some reason I feel as if they go together better that any other sections in the poem.
It was quite long, and I'm not too fond of extremely long poems, but I found this one interesting enough to read all the way through.
I fell in love with the quirkiness of the man, and the importance of his guitar. The use of color in this poem is really successful in that the colors really set the mood, and put more of a visual aspect into the words.
Overall, I would have to say that this is one of my favorite poems that we've read this semester.
