This is an example about of what might be in an exam. You will have to write about form, the structure, what it is about and how language represents this. Try and annotate this poem:

 

The hard stare in her eyes - 

 

 

The darkness in her eyes,

Cruel things you could see,

The atmosphere filled with lies,

Deep in the depths of the sea,

 

If you accept your defeat,

And battle your way out,

Strapped to your seat,

You're finished, you're done,

the battle has been won,

See if you can get out,

Because no one is allowed,

 

You're stuck,

You can't get out,

It just bad luck,

And no one can hear you shout!

 

A hard stare can kill,

If you do bad,

Which I hope you never will,

It will be sad,

And full of guilt,

Maybe next time I buy some more milk!
