At The End
Ed Meek
I chose this poem because I thought that it was very descriptive. I like the use of the metaphors in this poem. I like that they use rivers in comparison with an old man.
He was so old his bones seemed to swim in his skin. And when I took his hand to feel his pulse I felt myself drawn in. It was as faint as the steps of a child padding across the floor in slippers, and yet he was smiling. I could almost hear a river running beneath his breath. The water clear and cold and deep. He was ready and willing to wade on in.
There are metaphors, in “it was as faint as the steps of a child.” There is alliteration, “Seemed to swim in his skin.”
