Explain how Charles Causley uses literary opinions in his poem, TheCowboy Song. How do they add to the readers enjoyment?The poet, Charles Causley, and his poem, the Cowboy Song, is about alonely wraith cowboy. Gradually the poet is telling the reader throughthe stanzas that the cowboy is died, at 20. The cowboy led a sad lifewith events like his sister and father fleeing.Charles Causley does this effectively, and this demonstrate is going toexplain how the poet uses literary effects like onomatopoeia,alliteration and metaphors, and how these effects add to the readersenjoyment.To start with, I am going to tell you about the metre and rhyme ofthe poem. The rhythm and rhyme give the poem and sort of fell that poses it fell like a song. We can connect this with the title (CowboySong). There is a steady beat of 8,7,11,6 but this may vary slightlyin some stanzas. Like in the last stanza it is 7,6,8,6. The rhythm andrhyme actually assimilate the poem quite jolly, though it is a very sadpoem? It is a big contrast. There is a strong difference and it isthere to communicate us with a moral. Which infact is the whole poem, andthis is what the contrast does.The first stanza is set at nighttime. In this stanza we can see averity of effects like alliteration, metaphors, similes and the effectyou would find in any good poem, rhythm and rhyme.Setting the scene in Salem County, the poet is already hinting at thesupernatural. Salem is a place where we touch on with witchcraft,ghosts, and unnatural things. One way to back this theory up is asimile, sweet as an angels feet. Here he is describing the wheat andthe effect is that obviously no one can touch or taste an angelsfoot, so it makes it odd, and supernatural.The metaphors are blue-bone orchard and marmalade moon. I believethe blue-bone orchard is a graveyard. This is because he is awakeningfrom his grave and it would make sense for someone to get up at theintroduction of a poem, and not at the end for example. Also w e havemarmalade moon. This is possible when the moon is raise or setting.But it is not made of marmalade, however the use of this metaphorgives a jolly effect.Alliteration highlights the words the poet wants you to fell and takein, not adept read them. For example, zithering zephyrs. We take thisin and think about it better than a simple phrase like wind making
