1. OVERALL - five stanzas of fairly regular length, they are all quatrains
- last of the stanzas is broken up with the last line being on
its own and broken up- crossed river or still on the other
side
- 3 to 1 to show mother, father and terrier Jack whilst he is
on the other
- first person and seems to be occurring in the present
tense. This gives the impression of a memory or dream
being experienced by the poet as he writes.
- the half-rhymes make the
poem seem more realistic and easy going
- The poem can also be seen as an allegory or metaphor
for either being born or dying
- regular rhyme scheme, following an ABAB pattern
throughout each stanza. Most of the rhymes, however,
are not perfect rhymes. Instead, the poem uses slant
rhymes for most of the rhyming pairs: Rock/Jack, suit/feet,
dress/grass, hat/light, and so on. The rhymes are mostly
linked through consonant sounds. This has an interesting
effect on the poem. On the one hand it suggests precision,
which supports the idea that the speaker is meticulously
reconstructing a memory and/or vision of his parents. On
the other, the fact that the rhymes don't conform to the
usual expectations also suggests that there is something
unreliable about the poem's exploration of the imagination
and memory—that it's hard to know what is real and what
is not.
- irregular meter
2. They are wait- - biblical allusion to the Garden of Eden
ing for me some-
- nostalgia
