The poem I chose is “Analysis of Baseball”. I chose this poem because through the use of repetition and onomatopoeia May Swenson goes into great detail in conveying her knowledge and her love for baseball
In this poem Swenson frequently uses repetition so the reader can understand the game. The line “It’s about the ball, the bat, and the mitt”, the author is introducing to the reader her view of baseball. Then she goes into the details of what happens, “Ball hits bat, or its hits mitt. Bat doesn’t hit ball, bat meets it.” So through her use of repetition the reader can understand the game and the author’s analysis.
May Swenson uses a unique form of figurative language, and that is the use of onomatopoeia. As the reader, repetition helped
