The poem "Clothes" by Elizabeth Jennings portrays the change of fashion and clothes over the years and the future. .
The poem "It will not change" portrays love and how nothing has changed it or will ever change it.
"Clothes" coveys its message of change by putting the reader in the position of a young girl, who talks about how her mother always tells her about what they used to wear in her time. Then she thinks about what her kids may say about what she used to wear.
"It will not change" brings its message of change across by saying that a series of events have not changed "it" and that "it" will never change but be portrayed by her songs even after she dies. I think that "it" is whatever the reader wants it to be, within reason of course, but I believe that it is about love.
The poem "Clothes" gives one images like for example the mother of the girl in an old dress and then the types of clothes we wear today. Finally at the end one thinks about what people in the future will be wearing.
With the other poem I find that I don't see any pictures but rather think about what the poem is talking about. So whilst reading I take in all the key words and then think about what the author is telling us.
The words used by the first poem to convey the images of change are mostly names and types of clothes, like for example "and hadn't heard of jeans" and "T-shirts, not hats, and dresses that reach far above our knees". These all make the reader picture a person wearing those clothes. Now at the end the author says "Resembling us. Oh what's in store to make our children laugh?". This makes the reader picture what people in the future may wear.
Like I said before the poem "it will not change" does not really give on any images, as it talks about something which is invisible and also very hard to explain. What the author does is say how nothing has killed it and nothing has changed it and how it will live on forever even after she's gone.
