16 eliza- Carl Sandburg's "voice"

Carl Sandburg is an observer. He observes little things and sees them with a big imagination, like in Margaret: he looks into her blue eyes but saw a blue pool. Or in Fog: he sees fog creep up, unnoticed, until its actually arrived, like little cat's feet.
Sandburg is very in the box but hes a very detailed poet. His poems are very normal, realistic, but his word choice makes the emotion deep and rough. The emotion that he is trying to display in your mind is loud and clear. Sometimes you can relate to the poem and that only makes the words more vivid to you.
