Pattern Poems #2

The central theme of this poem is that all these different people wants different things, but the same simple wish is love. This is supported through various things in the poem. One of these is the pattern. By splitting each of these up, we see each person's specific wants. The structure supports a personal ad since they are all separate and many people are involved. In addition to structure, the repetition of the lines at the end of each stanza supports the theme. Each person asks the similar question of "Do you live in North London? Is it you?" and "Can someone make my simple wish come true?". The repetition of these questions show that each person is desperate to find the same thing. The want of love is shared by all of theme. Also, I found some of their descriptions to support this other theme of desperation. They ask this straightforward question in a personal ad showing that they are purely looking for love. I found the fact of them putting out a personal ad simply supported desperation as well.

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.
