Analyzation
This poem is a very deep emotional poem about missing someone physical but more importantly emotionally and mentally. It is written as the shape of a hand to symbolize the feeling of touch. The author is very upset and is mourning their time together. The theme is wistfulness, because the writer is longing their love, everything reminds him or her of them. The poem is structured like a hand, it is read from top to bottom going left to right. There are no stanzas and no rhyming scheme. A simile is used when comparing how unlike the kisses and the smile is to the whispers and the laugh. Another simile is used comparing memories to scars, both rough and jagged. Alliteration is used a lot: "patterns of your palms", "sweet and sultry" and "held your hand". Symbolism is used with the hand. Personification is used a lot too, just a couple for example, words cannot graze flesh and poems cannot curl around your heart.
