Like the new phone, and how that it seems to decrease in worth overtime. when i read the poem, it sounds monotone running about 120 beats per minute. It seems that there could be an accelerando from the start to the end, though.
When the poem mentions 'Nature's first green is gold, i can feel myself touching the first leaf, feeling it. also if I try to picture the poem, it gets brighter from lines 1-4 and darker from 5-8.
I read the poem and picture one leaf on a tree in line one, and it struggling in line 2. In lines 3 I imagine the leaf again, and feel it's importance. In line 4, I see lots of more leafs coming forth from the tree. The first leaf you have been trying to keep track of bends into the crowd in line 5. You notice a girl that was apperently been there the entire time looking very sad that the importance is gone in line 6. As you read line 7, the time of day continues on, and in line 8, it fades out with the sound of "Nothing gold can stay"
