In both Miracles and in Just, both poets use images such as "wade with naked feet along the beach just in the edge of the water" it gives you an image of an older woman/man/girl/boy wading in the edge of the water and then it also lets you taste the moist air around you and gives you a since of comfort. and in the other poem it talks about spring. you can imagine it and feel the cold spring air and see the leaves dropping. but it also makes you wonder if the person talking about it is sane because he doesnt sound reliable when he is using words such as wee it also makes you question if the balloon man is playing jump rope and hopscotch since the poem seems more about the balloon man. when it says piracies also gives it a since of spookiness you could say but overall thats just an example of how you can see feel and taste what he is writing about
1. You can see through the comparison to a mountain, that the grandpa is tall and always there 'looming' (hovering) over the speaker. You can see that the speaker does not speak much around his grandpa, as he is "silent as a stone".
2. These details show that the speaker is impressed by his grandpa and looks up to him the way a stone would look up to a mountain-it shows that he hopes one day he will grow to be like his grandpa.
3. The theme of this poem is shown through the way the speaker looks at his grandpa and the shed. The shed needs more than paint because it is so old, which relates to his grandpa and the theme of growing older.
