What is the poet saying about love and pain? How does the poet present their ideas?
Task One
Who is the speaker in the poem? Are they speaking in 1st, 2nd or 3rd person? Which tense? Gender? Message?
The name i am giving the male speaker is Billy. Billy is talking in first person with past tense. I think that the message here is that billy wants forgiveness for something that he has to his predicted wife (in the poem). While saying his apology he adds painful and heart warming things that they both either witnessed or both went through.
