Show transcript
When considering sounds in an unseen poem, you might ask what emotion the sound makes you feel. You also might ask whether the poet has used techniques such as onomatopoeia or sibilance. Arguably, onomatopoeia immerses the reader in the poem and makes them feel as if they are experiencing it. Duffy may be using sounds in order to create a warm environment where the reader feels at home.
