Two Poems and explanation of literary elements.

Pictures

She said Ill throw myself away

theyre just pictures after all

I cant...hang this on a wall

I cant...keep this up forever

Outside the frame

This is what were leaving out

Metaphor - Comparing herself to pictures.

Metaphor - Comparing the relationship to pictures, staying the aforementioned(prenominal) forever.

End rhyme - All and wall

Alliteration - What and were

Repetition - I cant is repeat twice

I utilise the two metaphors because I thought they were relevant to the situation in the poem. The end rhyme and the repetition helps with the flow of the poem. The alliteration smooths the fit line out.

Mother

I have desires of sometimes being again

A little child

And in the hour that I am afflicted

I would wish of my mother

To track me, embrace me like she did

When I was still

A little child

I indigence to return to my obsolescent bedroom

And have you tell me a pretty story

So that I may fall asleep

When I was still

A little child

With a kiss on the cheek

I was comforted

Now Ive grown

The distance between us has grown

And it may weigh more

And Im sorry

But I know that I

Always and forever shall be

Your little child

Repetition- Little child is repeated many times

Repetition- Embrace me is repeated twice

Symbolism- The distance between soul and parent grows

Symbolism- The distance between person and parent is heavier

Personification- hold grows

I used repetition to highlight what I thought was grievous in the poem. Symbolism is used to reflect the situation between the person and parent. Personification was used to help establish symbolism.
