We have chosen to look at a poem by local poet Greg O'Connell. The poem
has a West Coast feel to it. These are the things we 'noticed'
- That punctuation is not important
- There are (mostly) 3 lined stanzas
- The 'Frame' has 2 parts
- If I go...If I go...If I go... When I go...
- You will see me in...feel me in...know me in...
- The first stanza has a metaphor (sea blue mine) which is linked to another (coalface)
- The second line of the first 2 stanzas start with verbs
- A preposition (beyond) is repeated on lines 2 & 3 of the 3rd stanza
