To determine which poem best uses words to create a vision or idea of the city, it is essential to analyze the poet's use of imagery, descriptive language, and emotional resonance. In my opinion, "Harlem Night Song" accomplishes this most effectively. The poem employs vivid imagery, allowing the reader to mentally visualize the cityscape: "Wide looms overhead the whispering trees" and "Night like a purple blossom lifts unseen." These phrases convey a sense of mystery and allure. The poet's choice of words conjures a picturesque image of the city at night, enhancing the reader's understanding and connection to the poem. Furthermore, the poem's rhythm and musicality contribute to its powerful impact. The repetition of certain phrases, such as "Night coming tenderly," creates a hypnotic effect, drawing the reader deeper into the imagery presented. Overall, "Harlem Night Song" utilizes a combination of evocative imagery and poetic techniques to effectively reach the reader and foster a genuine sense of connection with the city.
