Nikki was happy to visit the special park her mother had been telling her about. When they arrived, she could hardly believe her

eyes. As she stood on the sidewalk in front of the entrance, she could barely see over the hedge that made a fence around the park. She could see the top of a red and white tent and the head of a dinosaur. She heard carousel music, the sounds of ducks, and children playing. Nikki could smell popcorn, hot dogs, flowers, and fresh straw. The most exciting sight of all, however, was the huge hot-air balloon that swayed gently in the breeze just outside the park.

Best comparison of two poems "the taxi" and "where have you gone"
Tanya [424]
The mention of light in both of these poems show how the protagonists' feel on the object in the story leaving. They are trying to hide, to not be found. Lines 28 to 29 in w<span>here have you gone and 8 to 10 in t</span><span>he taxi </span>both show how disconnected they now feel to this other person/object.
