Textuality » 3A Interacting
Considering the title, the word that bears the most stressed accent is up.
This word is present also in the first line, there it is put in a strong position, in the middle of the line.
The first line is long, on the contrary the second line is shorter, so the poet complies the reader to a brake.
In this line there are two words that are connected to the word up of the first line; the words are rainbow and sky.
The intelligent reader can understand that there is a bond between the poet and the sky.
In the second part that follows the colon, the writer gives an explanation for his sentence.
He uses an anaphoric language: in the fourth, fifth and sixth lines the word's order is so, verb, subject and temporal reference; the ordinary order is subject, verb and complements.
The poet wants to attract the attention on this lines and moreover he wants the reader remembers this lines that are also the central lines of the poem.
In the temporal references the writer uses words to describe the different stages of the life in a climatic way: from child, man and grown up.
All these lines all long but the reader is forced again to a brake; the exclamation point at the end of the line underlines the speaking voice's decision.
In the last two lines the poet breaks the reading's rhythm with an enjambement.
From the phonologic level the most relevant point is the rhyme began-man.
