Explore Simon Armitage's use of Linguistics in his poem "poem"?
Can anyone help.
I've realized that hes using "end stop" lines to creates a more blunt effect but I don't know what else to write :S
The poem is actually called "poem"
And if it snowed and snow covered the drive
He took a spade and tossed it to one side.
And always tucked his daughter up at night.
And slippered her the one time she lied.
And every week he tipped half up his wage.
And what he did not spend each week he saved.
And praised his wife for every meal she made.
And once, for laughing, punched her in the face
And for his mum he hired a private nurse.
And every Sunday taxied her to church.
And he blubbed when she when from bad to worse.
And twice he lifted ten quid from her purse
Here’s how they rated him when they looked back:
Sometimes he did this, sometimes he did that
