Imitation #1


                                                                                                                                                                                Kelvin Then
                                                                                                                                    9/1/12
                                    
            This poem is about a man’s love for a woman, this love he expresses through a memory of a night in June where they spent said night in each other’s company while watching the rain. This poem was a part of one the first collections of poetry published during the Harlem Renaissance and gave way to the beauty that would go on to be known as the Roaring 20’s. This  poem is a confessional as it gives insight to the narrators love life and provides us with some insight as to the kind of man that McKay may have been. The Rhyme scheme in this poem is bilinear end rhyme, or when words rhyme at the end of every other line.
