Funeral Blues W.H. Auden (1907-1973)
Funeral Blues Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let the aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead, Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves, Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong. The stars are not wanted now; put out every one; Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun; Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods: For nothing now can ever come to any good. W.H. Auden(1907-1973)
When a Poet uses figurative language to create a mental picture in the readers mind. Imagery There are three components of figurative language what are they? Write a definition of each one. Simile Metaphor Personification
Deliberate exaggeration for effect. It is a figure of speech, and not meant literally. Hyperbole An everyday example is ‘I’ve been waiting for ages’ or ‘I’m starving’. Can you spot hyperbole in the Poem?
Caesuras literally means a cutting. It is the pause in a line of poetry.  Look out for any type of punctuation in a line of Poetry.  Caesuras E.g. A four foot box, a foot for every year. Can you spot Caesuras in the Poem? Think about the effects of this example
Imperatives Words which express command. Extremely urgent and demanding.  Sometimes  an exclamation mark can be a give away. E.g. Charge! Hurry! Stop. Go. Think about the effects of these words Label the imperatives in the Poem?
