I thought the poem, Welcome to Hiroshima was a little bit more difficult to understand than the two poems we went over in class. However, I tried my best to find words that showed a correlation and to understand the poet's intended meaning. I believe the poet wanted to point out the fact that the year was unlike any other, and quite eventful. Yet now, all there is to show for it, is a billboard. The only remains are those in the memories of the people. Words that I feel were correlated were TV- re-runs, beer-foamy, blood and scum- clear, communicate-mute, hope- pain. A lot of these words contradict each other, but they also paint quite a picture for the reader. I think the tone of the poem is very sad.
