I thoroughly liked the poem "Loud Music" because it describes a simple bliss with so much detail that the story seems to come alive. It is simply the perspectives of two very different people and how they react to this loud music‚ or how they can see themselves in the noise. The author uses no restrictions‚ the imagery is animated and loud‚ just like real-life boisterous music‚ you can "witness" the "thick cloud making the water gray and restless"‚ and you can feel the throbbing‚ "hand smacking"
