In other words, Donne uses rich imagery to add tangibility to his piece and aide the reader in accurately picturing what’s being discussed. Using imagery in a poem furthers the idea and message of the piece and definitely proves effective in ‘The Broken Heart’. In an attempt to display how broken the narrator’s heart is, Donne states: “And now, as broken glasses show / A hundred lesser faces, so” (Donne 29-30). When reading that, many people relate the image in their mind to one that could be seen in a Hall of Mirrors when thousands of warped faces stare back, which leaves one question in the reader’s minds: What could metaphorically break a heart so violently that it reflects the same image as seen in a Hall of Mirrors?

When the narrator states "His hands were like wild birds", he is comparing the speed, the agility and the freeness of Flicks hands while playing basketball to the freeness of wild birds. The style that Updike chooses for his poem is free verse.

As the speaker travels around to find the story teller, he sees the sun as it was “threatening us as we climb closer.” In a child’s mind, everything is fascinating and they tend to see through the physical and literal appearances of ordinary objects. The same concept applies to the moving “shadows” that “stood up and walked.” Children believe everything in the world to be fantasy-like, and as they listen to the stories, their minds indeed direct its attention everywhere. These personifications are used to give a childish and immature point of view on the experience, which draws the audience in step by step into
