Here I discuss about the poem of Judith Wright. The poem Bora Ring is written by Judith Wright. It like many of Wright's works, is concerned with the impact of European settlement on Aboriginal culture. Wright uses nature's perspective to tell the story and mourn the loss of the Aboriginal people, 'the dancers', to European settlers, the 'alien'. The text structure of the poem consists of a 4 stanza by four line structure as said in the introduction. This supported by multiple semicolons that break up the sentence used as stanzas. These semicolons are used in almost every stanza. An example of this is; "The hunter is gone; the spear".The purpose of language features in this poem is to make the reader feel empathetic towards aborigines. This is done by using poetic devices such as; metaphors, alliteration, personification, repetition and irony. Visual features are used in this poem to feel more connected to the loss of aboriginal culture. This feeling makes the reader feel like it was there fault or take responsibility for the aboriginals. A way this is done is by imagery. Imagery is used a lot throughout the poem and is made really clear what to think about. For example "Mark the dancing ring', this makes the reader picture an indigenous dancing ring with music and songs.This poem is very difficult to understand for me while I was in B.A

It is split like a second. It hinges around itself. It has no future. It is pinned down to no past. It’s a pun on the present. It’s a little yellow butterfly. It has taken these wretched hills under its wings. Just a pinch of yellow, it opens before it closes and closes before it o where is it. When I was in B.A I studied various poems. For example The Butterfly which was written by Arun Kolatkar, an Indian poet wrote about the place- Jejuri, a temple town. Jejuri is a poor place and the hills in Jejuri show the barrenness of the place. His style is simple (English) in contrast with Mahapatra where he uses English and his ideas very effectively. Whatever he sees in Jejury they have a story of their own. The poet says there is no story behind the butterfly, the very being...
