 The Pleasant Garden Meggie Roche The pleasant garden, Hides shocking secrets Like the mother, Who was not the best, Whose heart went hard, Whose children were starving. Or the house, Which was abandoned abruptly, Implying a scandal, With no evidence left behind. Or the man, Who gives his wife presents, After being caught, Engaging in affairs. The pleasant garden Hides shocking secrets, But the pleasant garden Cannot say. "heart went hard" = alliteration "The pleasant garden / Hides shocking secrets" = Repetition (these lines are repeated in the last stanza)

The Red Louboutins A Pantoum By: Meggie Roche The red Louboutins, Waiting next to the door Are ready to walk Down the dingy streets of New York Waiting next to the door, The black ribbon catches the light Down the dingy streets of New York They perceive longing glances The black ribbon catches the light The glamour cannot compare They perceive longing glances They’re ready to strut The glamour cannot compare Are ready to walk They’re ready to strut The red Louboutins.   "dingy streets of New York" = Imagery "percieve longing glances" = Cool, vivid words
