The poem is ab turn out the death of a loved one and the actions taken after in the chairman up to the funeral, as can be told by the title. The first stanza is striking with the poet creating a silence In your head the second describes the preparation in a solemn tone that seems to echo for me as the reader.In the third stanza you are shown the love and anguish In Its full light through the slow rhythm of he words with many commas to add an aura of suspense and depression, male pronouns are used to describe the dead person whose body fills the coffin so the poet Is subtly making reference to his sexuality as though to make a point of his sadness, being gay himself.

His last stanza makes me as the reader feel like the world is caving in on me which links into the loss of hope and mirth and completely tears at the readers heart.The mood silently creeps of the page and into the readers thinker, illustrating the distress that flows through the lines as though it where a stream.

Silence is one of the main horrors of dea th from the poem and it links directly to the sadness of love and life. in person when I see this line I can hear the beat of a cuckoo clock cutting of mid call, the cord on a telephone, ripped from its socket and as the silence becomes more, then suddenly the sound of the slow muffled drums of a parade, making its way towards me. This is an example of great description in my mind because it conveys the significant meaning of the poets silence in a few words.Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves, Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton fiber gloves. Is an example of visual imagery by themselves the lines are beautiful and peaceful, but they add to the sorrow through their calm, delicate, beauty when combined with the rest of the poem. It is amazing how Aden has intertwined doves into his dark and sorrowful poem as they are a sign of love, peace, holiness and fertility, not death, sadness and the sin of homosexuality in many cultures. The stars are not wanted now put out every one, Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood For zip now can ever come to any good This stanza is the most visual, I myself am able to see people covering the stars with black cloth, pulling down the sun, bit by bit, and clearing the land dry and barren. W H Addends poem Funeral Blues shows the reader that death is a force stronger than life and love stronger than the both he does this through the visual imagery he has created throughout the stanzas to create a sense of harsh peace and auditory imagery to chill the reader with the power of silence.
