Day After Day Dark Green

dry little streams. Gophers and ant lions started
small avalanches. And as the sharp sun struck day
after day, the leaves of the young corn became
less stiff and erect; they bent in a curve at

to acts they thought themselves unsalable of. It
gives its participants a view of the world some
will never understand. War is an inevitable result
of a world diversified in its beliefs. However it
is the view of the solider that is often ignored,

of the individual. Although the American dream has
not always been consistent, (married with 2. 5
kids, 2 cars, a dog and a satisfying job), the
spirit of innovation, individuality and progress
remains unchanged. The father of free verse, and
perhaps the American perspective of poetry, Walt
Whitman embodies these values in his life and
work. First published in 1855 in Leaves of Grass,
