Poetry Packet 2 Dream Cycle Harryette Mullen
Haryette was being extremely descriptive and using imagery in "Dream Cycle" It felt like Harryette was describing a desire of hers and not necessarily an ice cream truck. The part of the poem that says "I could lick a quick dream, when the ice cream truck goes lullaby again". Maybe Harryette was describing an unattainable want that could be absolutely perfect for her if she could catch it. She dreams of the ice cream truck stopping on her street with the ice cream truck music playing. She says that it could snow Haryette under the heat. That the heat was so great it, the ice cream could crystallize a sigh.
When Harryette mentioned "it could freeze my teeth and crystallize a sigh" maybe the unattainable desire could stop all her worries and feelings/anxieties about whatever she wants to obtain. The teeth just made me think of talking and a sigh made me instantly think of frustration. And she goes on to describe "licking a quick dream" Or eating the ice cream of her dreams ceasing all frustration and worry or discomfort.
