Of their hopeless clinging, and fight
For all things vivid and loved are temporary.

Bomb’s thunder falls silent eventually
Both sides proven wrong or right
What is cruel is interim, it’s end involuntary

Merriment, friends, the best rest in memory
But color and life in the mind’s eye turns white
For all things vivid and loved are temporary.

Wounds open their eye, red and unburied
Only to sink and seal losing their sight
What is cruel is interim, it’s end involuntary

Passion’s flame, sparks turned incendiary
Burns to ash, extinguishing lover’s light
For all things vivid and loved are temporary.

A cycle strung the distance of eternity
A law to balance peace and blight
What is cruel is interim, it’s end involuntary
For all things vivid and loved are temporary.

And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.

Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.]]> 2019-04-29 19:44:41 UTC https://padlet.com/williamsnr1923/29fyr9me5yee/wish/355190567 Repetition williamsnr1923 https://padlet.com/williamsnr1923/29fyr9me5yee/wish/355190898 To truly show how much better it is after the sidewalk ends]]> 2019-04-29 19:45:45 UTC https://padlet.com/williamsnr1923/29fyr9me5yee/wish/355190898 Metaphor williamsnr1923 https://padlet.com/williamsnr1923/29fyr9me5yee/wish/355191677 There are so many metaphors in this poem and they are to try to compare what the other side of the end is like using what we know since it is nothing we have ever seen before.]]> 2019-04-29 19:48:15 UTC https://padlet.com/williamsnr1923/29fyr9me5yee/wish/355191677 Tone williamsnr1923 https://padlet.com/williamsnr1923/29fyr9me5yee/wish/355193172 The tone switches from upbeat to solemn back to hopeful.]]> 2019-04-29 19:52:47 UTC https://padlet.com/williamsnr1923/29fyr9me5yee/wish/355193172 williamsnr1923 https://padlet.com/williamsnr1923/29fyr9me5yee/wish/355613360 2019-04-30 20:01:59 UTC https://padlet.com/williamsnr1923/29fyr9me5yee/wish/355613360 Title williamsnr1923 https://padlet.com/williamsnr1923/29fyr9me5yee/wish/355614185 “Where the Sidewalk Ends” could most nearly mean where the city ends because the word sidewalk we associate with the city.]]> 2019-04-30 20:05:01 UTC https://padlet.com/williamsnr1923/29fyr9me5yee/wish/355614185 Subject williamsnr1923 https://padlet.com/williamsnr1923/29fyr9me5yee/wish/355614446 The people walking on the sidewalk and the kids that are already on the other side of the end of the sidewalk]]> 2019-04-30 20:05:51 UTC https://padlet.com/williamsnr1923/29fyr9me5yee/wish/355614446 Theme williamsnr1923 https://padlet.com/williamsnr1923/29fyr9me5yee/wish/355615262 To live life to the fullest and to not stress out about the little things]]> 2019-04-30 20:08:46 UTC https://padlet.com/williamsnr1923/29fyr9me5yee/wish/355615262 Subject williamsnr1923 https://padlet.com/williamsnr1923/29fyr9me5yee/wish/355615915 Everyone.
