a Cough" but he still managed to cram all manner of patterns into his poetry. One of these patterns was textual. In poetry, texture is defined as: "The "feel" of a poem that comes from the interweaving of technical elements, syntax, patterns of sound and meaning" ("Glossary" PG).

When I first read each of these poem I notice a very interesting difference between the two. While both of the poems are about relationships the major difference between the two are the specific type of relationship they each portray. In Your Hands by Gevorg Emin the relationship Gevorg portrays is a very loving and passionate one between the two people. While in The Clothespin by Rhonda Bower the feeling we get about the relationship is that the two people don’t really love each other and force…

Thunder strikes. A lonesome hearse rolls along a dirt road at dusk, Jacob Marley quietly laying inside. This is one of the many dramatic scenes describing the tale of, "A Christmas Carol," in the Patrick Stewart version.
