Pictures
She said I'll throw myself away
they're just pictures after all
I can't...hang this on a wall
I can't...keep this up forever
Outside the frame
This is what we're leaving out
Metaphor - Comparing herself to pictures.
Metaphor - Comparing the relationship to pictures, staying the same forever.
End rhyme - "All" and "wall"
Alliteration - "What" and "we're"
Repetition - "I can't" is repeated twice
I used 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 last 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 embrace me, embrace me like she did
When I was still
A little child
I want to return to my old 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 I've grown
The distance between us has grown
And it may weigh more
And I'm 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 person and parent grows
Symbolism- The distance between person and parent is heavier
Personification- Distance grows
I used repetition to highlight what I thought was important in the poem.
