Poem response #3

Roald Dahl is one of my favorite poets ever. He is very silly and this poems are in story form so it has it’s cool. The rhyme scheme is couplets. Some examples include: “And when he finished, Pig, of course, Felt absolutely no remorse.” Or: “He ate him up from head to toe, Chewing the pieces nice and slow.” The poem itself has some good messages, in a weird way. Like when the Pig realizes that he has to conquer his problems before they can get to him. This is something that you can apply to real life situations, but the thing to to is not expect the worst, like Pig did . Maybe when t the farmer wasn’t coming to kill pig, he just thought the worst and acted in a way that he might not have needed to act. When Pig is talking, he begins most of his sentences with “they” which is repetition. The rhyming scheme is AABBCC and so on. This kind of rhyming is the easiest to see because the ending line rhymes have the same end sound. I thought this was a good and creative poem and I liked how the poet used the pig as the main character so you could see how he felt about everything. I also like how there was some imagery with words that are kind of icky like “grizzly bit.” The “grizzly bit in this case though was part of the story; “Now comes the rather grizzly bit. So let's not make too much of it” This relates to sometimes when you’re eating meat that you can get some grizzle in your mouth which is like a chewy gross part that is kind of indescribable. It’s like a play on words.
