Erin Wilsons Review Derek Salisbury

Temptation has a Beautiful Face

I think the reoccuring use of musical references played a huge part in Derek's poem. I think that this was a good idea and it helped the reader hear the poem. For example, shrieking trumpets, out of tune piano, Her brown eyes sang the blues with joy, heavy metal rock n' roll, slow mellow jazz, and screaming violins. Also the use of color helps paint a vivid picture. Brown eyes, red dress, ginger pink smile. I really enjoyed this poem, maybe to add a more physical description of this women would enhance the reader's understanding.
