If I Should Have A Daughter By Sarah Kay

In the poem “If I Should Have a Daughter” by Sarah Kay, the poet uses structure poetic devices punctuation and enjambment to send her message. The main idea her poem is trying to get across is that life is hard and can be intimidating, but doesn’t have to be done alone. A strong example of a punctuation is when Sarah Kay writes, “ Because no matter how wide you stretch your fingers, your hands will always be too small to catch all the pain you want to heal. Believe me, I’ve tried” (verse 18 ). In other words, what she is saying is that sometimes there’s a fairly difficult task without someone’s help. What she means by this is some things are meant for collaborative work. This connects to her message because “but doesn’t have to be done alone”
