JoelJosol Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 This short poem tells me details of a young family with intentional alliterations. Is the narrator the only child because it ended with "I get all their time"? Quote "Words are not things, and yet they are not non-things either." - Ann Lauterbach
gurunAthan Posted January 26, 2021 Author Posted January 26, 2021 Yes, it is about an imagined only child, Joel Josol. As Tinker would explain the ABBA poetic form uses internal rhymes, in reverse order: Phone and paddad alone! Really educative, her explanations, to try the forms as exercises or full blown poems. And no, this poem is not about the narrator, but about an imagined first person. gurunAthan Quote
