the tittle is “Latin Night at the Pawnshop”. the only latin part of the whole poem that the poet address is that there’s is a ’’Salsa Band". the rest of the poem is talking about instruments and a ticket.

In this small sentence we are able to imply that special moments were made from these instruments and that they were in a band which shows that it wasnt only one person enjoying this but multiple.

also in the line after (Paragraph 3, sentence 2) that repeats in saying the color and then the instrument name. This patter caught my attention when read it. This sound like it rhymes to when said out loud.

does the color really matter when it comes down to instruments.

the first two end with an “as” which rhymes and then the last word of the sentence ends with “ine”. this breaks the rhyme. this made me stop and re-read because i thought i said something wrong and not with the flow . However the poet did that on purpose.

the poet describe the ticket dangling from the instrument a ticket from a dead mans toe. this gives a twist at the end. this also makes twist dark really fast. However why did the poet do it?

how dose a dead man toes ties to an liberty loan pawnshop. it went from saying different types of instruments to taking about a ticket on a dead man toe. i don’t really see how this ties together.

Tag on a dead mans toe like the ticket on the instrument. Both just waiting to be consumed.
