Cards (15)
festered in the
heart
'rotted'
'sweltered' 'gargled'
but best of all
every spring
'mammy'
'
daddy'
i would fill
jampots
full of
frogspawn
the gap between the
stanzas
is a volta, from
joy
to immediate horror
then one day when fields were
rank
angry
frogs
anthromorphorism-
human
emotions
in animals
to a
coarse croaking
that i had not
heard
before
i
sickened
,
turned
and ran
context- Seamus heaney wrote about the
troubles
in
ireland
war echos
'invaded'
'ducked'
'grenades'
compare to
'to
autumn
by john keates'
themes of nature, time
passing
, both
admire
nature
in the
beginning.
death of a naturalist
hates
nature as time passes
to autumn
appreciates
it even more
