Pattern Poems #1

17.

The form and pattern of "Delight in Disorder" helps to support the overall theme of this poem. The poem has a pattern that is varied in lengths. It does not really have a uniform or pattern to the length of each line. This supports disorder because it is almost like this poem is jumbled together and just written without any pattern at all. If this poem had organization, then it would be the complete opposite of the theme of disorder. In addition to the structure, the poem's rhyme scheme also supports the theme of disorder. If you look at the end of the lines, the rhymes are not perfect rhymes. Examples of this are "thrown" with "distraction" and "note" with "petticoat". The somewhat misfit rhymes support a disorderly theme.
