20th Century Poetry Coursework
I have decided to consider two of the poems by U.A. Fanthorpe. The poems are entitled 'Half-past two' and 'Reports'. I will start by examining the poem Half-past two then the poem Reports. I will then compare the structure, language, phrasing and techniques of each.
Half-past two is a poem written with a very simple use of vocabulary. U.A. Fanthorpe has tried to create the poem so it looks like a child has written it. It shows this by the spelling of some words together as a substitute as the child cannot tell the time.
