Can i have an analysis of poem repair by finuala dowling

Answer 1

"Repair" written by Finuala Dowling is a poem considered poetical prose. This is because it does not have a common poem structure, that is, it is not organized in verses and stanzas, but is written as a straight paragraph. In addition to being a poetical prose, "Repair" is also considered a narrative poem as it presents a story with characters, where the narrator is the speaker. The poem does not have rhymes and does not follow a well-defined metric system, as is common in these two types of poems.

The poem has as its themes solidarity, empathy between friends and the certainty that only time can cure the pain we feel. We can see this when the speaker presents the story of two boys, who are friends and who joined the speaker, to cheer up a four-year-old girl who had lost her mother. They decided to do this because they sympathized with the little girl's situation, since they themselves had the same experience and know how painful it was. The three friends try to cheer the little girl up with treats and games, but she cries for missing her mother. That's when they decide to put the little girl to sleep telling her stories. At that point, they realize that only time will heal the little girl's pain, just as it did their pain.
