Writing responses to poems is sure a challenge for me. One thing to understand the poems and another thing to analyse the poets'treatments to both poems. I have to look for literary devices that poets always utilised in their writings in reference books. I notice that by doing this assignment, it actually refreshes my memory on literary and poetic devices poets are using.

I identified that both poets, Hayden and Muhammad haji Salleh have made used of literary devices such as repetitions, alliterations, consonance and even symbolism in order to convey messages laden in between the lines.They have also clearly depicted the subjects'through images and diction.
