Men At Forty

custody at Forty is a really well written numbers so clearly the verbiage was chosen well. There are so many things that can be considered diction when writing like if you want to be more sensuous which means you write to appeal to the senses or you have the choice to make it emotional of thus far esoteric so only the few criterion of people who have the proper knowledge to understand it do. A couple of words that describe how this poem was written are precise, emotional, abstruse and esoteric could even tie in with that.Precise writing is marked by exactness or accuracy and Men at Forty in my eyes is very accurate. I do believe that what Donald writes about is exactly what happens once a man gets to forty. In the first stanza it says Men at Forty Learn to close softly The doors to rooms they will not be approach path back to. This is a metaphor about how since he is older he must come to name with the fact that he might never reach some of his goals in life. Emotion is a b etter-looking part of writing because whats the point in writing if there is no emotion.No one will even want to read your writing because they get bored easily with it. In stanza 3 it states And deep in mirrors They rediscover The face of the boy as he practices tying His fathers tie there in clandestine this is very emotional because the man Is looking in the mirror and he still feels young alone that is on the inside the outside shows he is growing old, and no one likes growing old because its a sad reality that we are getting closer and closer to death. This poem can be very abstruse because It could go over some peoples head.
