A variety of issues are examined in Dawe’s poetry, most of which, aren’t uniquely Australian. In ‘The Wholly Innocent’, the poet utilises the narrator being an unborn baby to express their opinion on abortion. The emotive language; “defenceless as a lamb” and comparisons of abortion to “genocide”, all turn this poem into a type of activism, for pro-life; a concept that is certainly not uniquely Australian; as abortion is only legal (on request) in 4 states and territories. These issues aren’t always directly referenced in Dawe’s poetry, much like in ‘The Family Man’, which chooses to explore suicide and it’s effect.

The poem makes a ton of utilization of humanoid attribution, love is sleeping, and plants are sobbing and talking. This makes a surreal environment for the reader and starts to expand on the dim tone of the poem where love is lethargic and the characteristic world is shouting out and disheartened. At that point we have this congregation in the fog on the green where the speaker used to play, this brings the poem to a significantly more dismal wavelength. The congregation is covered, proposing obscurity and mystery, and it is fabricated where the speaker played, ending further playing or fun from occurring there.
Other elements such as personification and repetition were also shown. The most recognisable feature when one listens to the song is probably the slant rhyme, though not perfect, the words still sound similar to each other as it is in a poem. The song is even divided into
Music could mean crickets singing, rain falling, a visiting breeze or even a creek running. The angels’ choir, or the sounds of night, simply assist us along our journey. For these sounds are the “pale tall choirs.” Pale and tall possibly referring to the moon and the way its light shines down upon the world, or maybe even a literal choir of angels. Poems tend to construct more of a feeling than a sense of understanding.
A world war takes place as a group of boys get stranded on an island. As the boys try to escape the war, it follows them onto the island in the form of a never ending conflict with how to survive. As the boys become engaged in this war they lose their innocence. In the Lord of the Flies, written by William Golding, loss of innocence plays a big role in the outcome of the book.
