Poetry and Lady

I moderate chosen the poem, wench victuals the Cats by Douglas Stewart, to explore how the poet has used Australian visions to explore ideas about Australia. Douglas Stewart a poet who brings texts to life-time and shapes meaning giving them a intelligibly visual picture. He conveys this by using visual imagery and descriptive phrase in his poems this is conveyed in noblewoman feeding the cat. Lady Feeding the Cats, a poem links to the AOS- Australian Vision. The poem is rightfully meaningful and deep as the cats exposit the of age(predicate) bird at the balance to be a gracious and pleasurable queen of the cat .The peeress in this poem is a shortsighted individual who lives in the slum and wears the bedraggled punk and clothing unless she is the queen in those cats mind. In the poem, Douglas has described Domain and Moreton Bays as a part of Australia it makes us mindful that they lived in Australia and the behaviours from the brothel keeper who lives in unfav ourable conditions and is a poor person but still treats others well, especially the wild cats. The title, Lady Feeding the Cats, is appropriately chosen as symbolises a mind of volunteering and mateship.As shown in the text it claims that to feed those outlaws, represents and shows a metaphor for the considerable Australian values of volunteering and mateship. The poem lady feeding the cat has a sense of loneliness and links man and nature. Lady feeding the cat portrays a poor women living in the slums of Sydney and comes to the domain terrestrial to feed the cats. Stewart uses visual imagery throughout the first stanza broken billet, slums abide stains. Douglas uses this technique to explain and paint an image in the readers head of this womens economic standing in the world.In the first stanza Douglas uses head rhyme Shuffling-shoes-slums All the three words are interconnected showing someone who is walk generally old connected to shoes because he is hobbling along sl ums shows the person make is not just wearing old shoes but also lives in slums indicating poverty. Douglas Stewart also uses simile by stating want a pine in the rain- lots pine trees are not enceinte very symmetric but quite an looks straggly especially when it has been raining and everything is peeved and drooping.In the second stanza it says they rub at her legs for the generosity that never fails its shows the connection and the friendship between the lady and the cats exploring the Australians values about the mateship. The lady in this poem gets her salvation from these cats without the cats she would have nothing, the cats also rely on the lady without this lady they would not get cater. The metaphor If she has fed their bodies, they have fed more than than the body in her, revels that the lady fed the cats but the cats have fed her with love.
