Hi, I have to analyse this poem and I'm having a bit of trouble. What is its meter (iambic/trochaic/other?) and any other form of analysis on techniques used would be greatly appreciated!! Here is the poem:
Further Notice - Philip Whelan
"I can't live in this world
And I refuse to kill myself
Or let you kill me
The dill plant lives, the airplane
My alarm clock, this ink
I won't go away
I shall be myself --
Free, a genius, an embarrassment
Like the Indian, the buffalo
Like Yellowstone National Park."
