Abraham Lincoln Walks at Midnight

The other of my poem is Vachel Lindsey(male). He was born in Springfeild, Illinois; the same place his poem is set in. Vachel was born into a financial secure family and had many resources available to him. He was into politics and did a lot of research on his surrounds. He came across Abraham Lincoln, who was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Illinois's 7th district. Lincoln was very popular among the residents of Springfeild.
After reading a little about Vachel Lindsey, I learned that a lot of his poems were in what is caleed Singing poetry, or lyrical poetry. He is actually considered the father of tthis art form. So going off this information there is a possibility that "Abraham Lincoln Walks at Midnight" is indeed written in the form of singing poetry. Throughout the poem, Vachel is trying to present Lincoln as the, the dead who's heart beats. By this i'm refering to, when your'e dead your heart no longer beats, you are no longer alive. In this poem Lincoln is presented as a ghost or spector who's heart still beats and cares for mankind and the issue's of this world. A lot of ghostly adjetives and verbs are used such as lingers, "he is among us", and mourning. He sets an atmosphere of a ghost flooting threw the town at midnight. There's also a since of reminesce. In the story there is refrence to a hill, him going to where his children use to play, and a market.

This poem a curse for kings is very similar to Abraham Lincoln Walks at Midnight. They're both giving across the message of righting the wrongs of this world. A curse for Kings however comes across a lot more aggressive. A Lot of what is written in this poem is very true because there are situations as such:"Ah, he who starts a million souls toward death
Should burn in utmost hell a million years!
--Mothers of men go on the destined wrack
To give them life, with anguish and with tears:--"
This really stuck out to me. Though it is harsh, it's really only fair. People who kill others should bne done with themselves.

The only real distinct thing is that its historical fiction poetry. He's using an American figure in history, Abraham Lincoln.
