• Different ways of presenting love

2
How love is affected by age

• Love is just starting in I wanna be yours. The
  language and style of the poem is lively and
  frisky which is similar to a stereotypical modern
  young relationship. The love has just started.
  
• In One Flesh the poem lacks speed and is more
  gentle which reflects the nature of the poem, a
  more mature relationship. Tossed up like flotsam
  from a former passion.
• The male in I wanna be yours is asking the
  woman for them to be united in love. He used
  phonetic spellings for familiarity to show that
  they have something in common. Visual and
  domestically orientated images are more
  accommodating showing respect for her, let me
  be your rain coat for those frequent rainy days.

Love through the ages

• The structure of To His Coy Mistress is more
  rigid which seems to reflect the views of love
  and relationships in pre-1900s. The structure
  adds sense as it is rational.
• The rhythm of Beggar Woman is brisk and up-beat
  and the mock heroic couplets show the
  light-heartiness that the poem seems to hold.
• Natural imagery is used, showing the tradition
  and the way language is affected by the time
  period. Love is presented in a conventional way
  which show their strict attitudes towards love
  and relationships.
• A more modern and up-to-date poem is
  Rapunzstiltskin. Feminism shines through, as it
  is the woman who is in control of the
  relationship. The woman is trying to make it easy
  for the man by acting like a T.V. quizmaster
  and the man still cannot guess what it is that
  she wants from the relationship.
• Our Love Now is a modern poem. The poem is
  youthful you can see this from the conversation
  tone to the poem I said.

Humour

• King uses comedy to make it light-hearted. This
  does not mean that his message is also
  light-hearted. On the contrary, he is portraying
  a serious message about how we should all take
  responsibility.
• This jaunty rhythm gives the poem a satirical
  feel.
• Rapunzstitlskin also focus on humour. Lochhead
  combines two well-known fairy tales.
• She uses colloquial language to create a feeling
  of familiarity with the readers. The audience
  feels as though they are aware of the characters
  and of the story within the first few lines.
• In the poem of I Wanna Be Yours there is a frisky
  approach to its presentation. He uses universal
  metaphors, which everybody can relate to. For
  example, he wants to be a electric meter, which
  never runs out.
• The pop-style lyrics of deep deep deep deep de
  deep deep give a lively flow and a playful tone
  to this youthful love.

Presentation

• There are various methods used in these poems to
  present the different attitudes.
• Our Love Now is set out in two distinct columns
  that show the conflict of the couple. For every
  argument that the man proposes, the woman has a
  counter argument.
• The Beggar Woman and To His Coy Mistress are
  set out in a conventional style. They are set
  out in paragraphs which show the developing
  arguments or story line of the poem.

• I wanna be yours has a lack of any punctuation.
  This enforces the idea that the man is pouring
  out his feelings to her before she interrupts
  him. As he calls himself i, he is making
  himself inferior to her love.
• One flesh has a tighter structure which
  reflects the self-contained aspect of the
  relationship. It is monotonous in essence.
