Creative City
By. Pier Giorgio Di Cicco
To look, and not avert one's gaze;
that is where all the art is, the passion
and the city. people who do not look,
cannot see canvas, or poems or
notes for
happiness.
art does not begin with art,
but in the eyes. the eyes are everything;
when you look up at another,
and look away without a smile,
you have killed
everything you want to
bring home, oh citizen.

I choose the poem “Creative city” by Pier Giorgio Di Cicco. I think the author is trying to talk that don’t avoid the world and people. If he or she keeps avoiding everything, they will be isolated from happiness. “art does not begin with art, but in the eyes” this line means that People can draw art, but they cannot see the real art because they are not open-mind . I like this poem because it pertains to everyone who reads the poem. People actually act out and learn what the author trying to tell. This poem focuses most strongly on sight. For example, “People who do not look, cannot see canvas, or poems or notes for happiness”. I think the emotion of this poem is passion, happiness, avoid, depress, and alienated. This poem also seems particularly “Canadian”. “The passion and the city”, this line described the image of Toronto.
