Here, the enjambment draws attention to the words and helps reinforce the irony. This view point is in contrast to that of “Give”. In this poem the view point is that of the homeless character so we get to see the other side of the story. It is a dramatic monologue in the 1st person so the voice of the character is used to create his feelings and attitudes. For example, he begins by addressing the listener as “dear” in a heavily sarcastic tone we feel is bitter and angry.
The poem 'Glasgow Fifth of March 1971', writen by Edwin Morgan, is an instamatic poem which describes a very violent incident. The writer manages to make us feel as if we are watching this incident as it is happening. The writer uses word choice, imagery and symbolism to create an upsetting atmosphere for the readers. This poem is split up into three couples instead of stanzas; a young, romantic couple, two youths, and two drivers. The young couple are the victims, who are pushed through a shop window by the two youths, while the drivers, who are used as symbolism in the poem, 'keep their eyes on the road'.

After reading the poems, “Leap” by Brian Doyle, and “The Names” by Billy Collins, I get a heavy sense of the both of the authors using specific strategies to show the emotions they both had after the tragic events of 9/11 and beyond. Both of the poems use a heavy dose of imagery to help the reader reflect on emotions they may have had when they experienced that horrible day. Even though both authors use imagery and emotions, the tempos of both poems have very different direction. Even though they go into different directions though, they have an overall affect that hits them right in their upper right hand chest. The use of imagery in both poems is very deep and necessary.
Youths are destroying everything, and putting other peoples lives at risk, as well as their own. This is an example of mob mentality, which is physical violence.

When you join the mob, you are now powerless, in that you cannot control what it does, you have to do what it does, and behave accordingly.
