Sorry, I tried to post this on comments yesterday but I couldn't. Can anyone help? Thank you!
Yes I like the rhythm of this poem too. It has an irregular rhythm (line 1 has 10 syllables; line 2 has 9 syllables etc). This reflects the message of the poem which is that sometimes we do things without thinking and life does not always run smoothly. The repetition of the ‘T’ and ‘S’ sounds are like the clashing of swords. Lots of 1 syllable words make you read the poem faster, again like a fast paced battle. Repetition of ‘lost’ stresses the message that nothing is gained from all of this fighting. GOOD TECHNIQUES TO BORROW FOR OUR WORK = simple words/repetition/rhythm/sounds
