All stanzas have 4 lines each with 3 stanzas, a total of 12 lines. Per stanza, each sentence has around the same amount of letters.

It is a formal piece of literature and uses many commas.

When you read it, you can imagine how the reader is feeling and you can gain a vision of something you may have done in life.

I noticed that in stanza 2 and 3, the first and last sentences both use the same word at the end. It rhymes within most stanzas but not always all in the same place.

T (Theme, Topic, Tone)

It is a love poem, about being a stranger to a place and forms love with someone / something within it.

I give you an onion.
It is a moon wrapped in brown paper.
It promises light
like the careful undressing of love.

Here.
It will blind you with tears
like a lover.
It will make your reflection
a wobbling photo of grief.

I am trying to be truthful.

Not a cute card or a kissogram.

I give you an onion.
Its fierce kiss will stay on your lips,
possessive and faithful
as we are,
for as long as we are.

Take it.
Its platinum loops shrink to a wedding ring,
if you like.
Lethal.
Its scent will cling to your fingers,
cling to your knife.

FLIRT

Against love is the poem I chose is about breaking up with someone you love and how much it pains you.

There are 42 lines 

He speakers very emotional and really shows how some act made him feel for example he said when he saw the pictures his throat turned to ice.

The image created in my mind is of a sad man struggling with a break up sat on his own in a sad cold dark room with his palms on his face. 

There is no rhyme in this poem it is more about a break up and struggling post break up. 

The theme of this poem is of a man sat in his room going through all the picture and stuff left over from a break up and describing how each thing he sees hurts worse and worse.

L- Repeating words: Like, Best Freind, its repetitive in most words and there is not similies and metaphors

I - I see very specific images when reading this, i see houses, money, a girl. It has so many things i cant really think of it all

R - No rhyme it is pretty different words and there is no rhythm because i dont feel a beat.

T - The poems topic is about a person presumably a girl taling about her girl best friend who has a crush on this boy and the speaker is saying how the boy needs to give her loads of stuff because her best friend is worth it.

F: 18 lines 9 stanza some are short sone are long.  

L:  informal language, no repetition of words.  

I:  It is very cold hearted and dark. 

R: no is no rhyme and the rhythm changes in each stanza 

T:  The theme is about love and the topic is all about his love for big cars. The tone is quite aggressive and cold.

there is love in the wind by the singing rock

down the river by the ancient tree

love in kangaroo goanna and emu

love when spirits speak no human voice

at the sacred sites eyes unblemished

watch wedge tail eagle soar over hidden water

find the love

Analysis

This poem is themed around the everlasting nature of love and the mysterious feelings associated with it. The poem also represents the notion that love can be found in a wide range of places. The poem has 1 stanza and 7 lines. It is relatively short compared to the other poems in the series (this poem is number 4 out of 5 poems). All lines are around the same, with the exception of the last line. This line is considerably shorter than the others in order to emphasize the phrase “find the love”. The poem makes use of a few different literary devices. The phrase “singing rock” is an example of personification and “hidden water” is an example of a metaphor. These metaphors add emotion to the poem and improve the imagery involved in the piece. The poem has a large amount of imagery related to nature. The phrases “singing rock”, ”love in the wind” and “down the river by the ancient tree” relate love to nature. By linking love to nature, the narrator infers that love is everlasting and beautiful. The poem does not include any rhyme, however, I believe that the literary devices used in the poem add an engaging rhythm to the piece.

Mostly freeform but with a few lines that might be a stanza. It’s meant to be where one person says it then the other person responds.

Language

Informal as if talking to someone they love and know. Repeats the one phrase “I know that you know”and other slight alterations.

Imagery

It  brings up a scene of a couple trying to argue in a friendly way about who loves who knows who loves each other then finally settling it with “ I knew it”.

Rhyme/Rhythm

The poem is very repetitive barely varying from the base phrase. It's almost lulling and hypnotic.

Theme/tone/

topic

The theme is about Love. There are two speakers who are presumably a couple.The poem is in a friendly and flirty tone.
