    This poem is certainly ironic, almost obnoxious at points but then relapses into humor. I can definitely hear the assonance that is in the middle of the line as opposed to exclusively at the end like a nursery rhyme. There is also repitition at the end and some obvious themes.

  • @someguystudios3558

    I think the actual cinematography is better than the actual poetry we are supposed to be observing in this course, Eng 119. Certainly a lot of descriptive words and imagery.

  • @someguystudios3558
    @someguystudios3558 22 години тому

    This poem certainly has a sense of humor and the hesitency in the delivery adds to the tone of the poem. I almost feel like i am in the coffee shop watching him drop the ball. This might be my favorite poem yet from this class, Eng 119.

  • @someguystudios3558
    @someguystudios3558 22 години тому

    This is very vivid. There is an attention to sound through rhythm and assonance. It is also very descriptive and paints a vivid picture.

      Careful with that like button! The algorithm might disapprove! I'm assuming that MUST be what you mean, right? This can't be homophobia in 2024, right? Pretty sure we've had plenty of that and have moved on. Yep.
