"Stop all the clocks"

The poet A.H Auden creates a very dark and sad tone that begins even in the first stanza. This poem is very easy to relate to when you have lost a love one. Its very easy to sympathize with the poet as it is very hard to lose a love one weather that love one is a lover or a friend I think that becomes irrelavent because, the feeling is the same regardless. "Prevent the dogs from barking with a juicy bone." (L3) the line that does not belong to the poem that seems to throw it off a lot although by the time you are done reading the poem you tend to focus on more important aspects and draw more away from that line. Although that lines tends to create a odd image to the over all imagery of the poem. The poem has a rhyming scheme to the first two lines of each stanza. Although toward the end it changes on the last two lines rhyme. The structure of the poem is very typical. The over all structure is long and drug on causing a mourning effect to the tone of poem. "For nothing now can ever come to any good." Good can be seen as a word that is drug on and on GOOOOOD is almost the way it is read. The last word in each of the lines in the last stanza tend to drag on and on. Causing a good transition into the following line. The first stanza however tends to be choppey and you tend to read it quite the opposite you read it very quick and fast.
