Question: What poetic tecniques are used in this poem!?!? english techers or english nerds!?!? hahaha- judith wright magpies!?
Along the road the magpies walk
with hands in pockets, left and right!.
They tilt their heads, and stroll and talk!.
In their well-fitted black and white!.

They look like certain gentlemen who seem most nonchalant and wise
until their meal is served — and then
what clashing beaks, what greedy eyes!

But not one man that I have heard
throws back his head in such a song
of grace and praise — no man nor bird!.
Their greed is brief; their joy is long!.
For each is born with such a throat
as thanks his God with every note!.



poetic tecniques such as personification, metaphors , onomatepia etc!.
