Sensory Devices In Red Lily

When looking at poems, readers tend to read it over and analyze it based on what is provided to them by the poet. While writing poems, authors tend not to incorporate devices that may entice the senses of their readers, but that is not the case for “Red Lily.” Between poems that use sensory devices like “Red Lily” and poems that don’t, the addition of sensory devices to the poem “Red Lily” creates a more intense feeling and emotion through the aid of aural and visual implementations to enhance the experience of reading the poem for the audience. After looking over the poem without sound first and with sound second, a distinction was noted in how the reader would feel once the poem was over. As the poem is playing online without sound, it can
The poet’s intentions could be first creating the vibe that it was written in a child’s style of writing so that he or she could lead on into the setting as the poet starts off with what they thought when they were a child. The poem also has some visuals in between the text rolling through the screen to attempt to tell the reader a story, but pictures like the eye and the girl with the ducklings, created the thought that the pictures seemed like they were out of place.

As for “Red Lily,” the poem is similar to a drama due to its trailer-like formatting including some intense and dramatic moments within the text as well as the timing of when the text shows up on the screen. As the text is playing across the screen, the timing it appears tends to be dragged out, and the effect of that is to cause suspense because the reader would want to know what the poem says next.
