Considering the title, it is "One Art". The reader asks why the poetesse choose the adjective "One" and he supposes this poem tells about art. The poem is organised into 6 stanzas, 5 ones of 3 lines and one of 4 lines. Then there is a refrain, that is "the art of losing isn't hard to master". It opens the poem and it is repeated in stanzas 2,4 and 6. Also the word "disaster" appears in stanzas 1,3,5 and 6. The poem was written in alterating rhymes. So it follows a rhyme scheme ABA, but in the last stanza the rhyme scheme is ABAA. It emphasizes last line and it adds a pragmatic meaning to word "disaster". Then the poem can be read like a metaphor, because the title suggests the poem tells about the art of writing or about art in general and in reality the poem is about the art of losing, that is the ability to lose something. In the end the poetesse wanted to communicate how it is easy losing things, but losin somebody looks like a disaste. |
