...And Now We're Out of Carrots Open in new Window. [E]
Politics feels like a mule chasing a carrot, that is always out of reach. Now, no carrots.

FINAL THOUGHTS

*BalloonR* Welcome to WDC from "Newbie Welcome WagonOpen in new Window.! *BalloonR*



STRUCTURE

This is made up of four line stanzas. There are eight stanzas altogether which form a story in a poem. There is hardly any punctuation which gives this poem a rushed sort of tone. The rhyming is a simple sequence as in it is an ABAC until the speaker gets to the last stanza and changes that to an ABBC rhyming sequence.

TONE

The tone is a sad one and not about carrots but the fact that whoever we vote for will screw us rotten. The carrots are a metaphor for wealth and resources which we have none of and the government is to blame. I like the message and the metaphor. The tone is one of hopelessness but also a drive that we must still vote, even though we do not believe.

STYLE

The style is a rhyming poem and I enjoyed the way it rushed to the end.

TITLE

The title is very apt and profound and fits in with the theme of the poem.

IMAGE

I see a world stripped of all its resources lying wasted in the universe.

FINAL THOUGHTS

This is a good poem and thank you for sharing.
