Bad Day
Kay Ryan
Not every day
is a good day
for the elfin tailor.
Some days
the stolen cloth
reveals what it
was made for:
a handsome weskit
or the jerkin
of an elfin sailor.
Other days
the tailor
sees a jacket
in his mind
and sets about
to find the fabric.
But some days
neither the idea
nor the material
presents itself;
and these are
the hard days
for the tailor elf.
4 Elements of poetry`
Imagery and Figurative Language(metaphor,simile, create a mental picture)
-- They described with elfin tailor and also for it’s not really describing but also about “reveals” took my mind.
Sound(rhyme) - When we look at first sentence “Not every day
is a good day”, we can see that the word day repeat 2 times again, so we can know it’s rhyme there. When we look at whole poem, then we can find that “day” repeats every time like some days, bad days, days, day. Whenever we read this poem we can feel the rhyme.
Speaker (voice) - This poem is about bad day, so the whole poem is about bad things, and pretty sad, so I think the voice should be really low voice and being really quietly reading.
Form(lines, stanzas)
-- Each line the word was 3 or 4. Why is it happens ? I think it’s because of each line just contain one idea and one theme and story.
