Within both of these poems, the poets use different types of poetic techniques to show how time can affect the relationship of two lovers. The language used in the two poems is very different but they both show the same prospective of time. In ‘hour’ the language used is very blunt and in ‘to his coy mistress’ the language is more creative and imaginative. This is shown in hour when the poet says, “time hates love”, whereas in ‘to his coy mistress’ the poet says “we cannot make our sun stand still”. Both of the poets are trying to say that time is in control and it is very powerful. In ‘hour’ Duffy uses personification and simile; this is shown in, “love’s time’s beggar”. This suggests to us that time is love's enemy and love is begging time. The word beggar almost makes you feel sorry for love. The poet personifies time as loves enemy. In ‘to his coy mistress’ Marvell uses metaphors. For example, “Time's winged chariot hurrying near”, this suggest to us that death will be near. There are lots of imagery used in the two poems. For example, in ‘hour’ Duffy says, “but even a single hour bright as a dropped coin, makes love rich”. This suggests to the reader that even one hour with your loved is very precious and should cherish the moment. We also see love being powerful than time for the first time. In “to his coy mistress” imagery is used in the first section of the poem, when the speaker says “thou by the Indian Ganges side…
Both of the poems use different types of poetic techniques to depict how time can effect the relationship of two lovers. In 'Hour' Duffy uses a metaphor at the start of the poem to allude how love has less power than time. When Duffy announces 'Love's time's beggar, but even a single hour,/bright as a dropped coin, makes love rich.' we see a twist of notion, like every second is like an hour creating a paradox. Duffy also uses refereces to two fairytales, Rumpelstiltskin and King Midas. When Duffy declares 'the Midas light/turning your limbs to gold.' Duffy portrays a slightly sinister tone almost giving the reader a message to becareful what you wish for just like in the fairytale of King Midas.When Duffy announces at the end of the poem 'love spins gold, gold, gold from straw' Duffy refers to the story of Rumpelstlitskin and could be trying to warn her partner of the commitments they may make or perhaps could be telling her readers to have a reality check once in a while because sometimes you may feel like your relationship and the love you share will be forever and extrodinary but time will always shorten or take it away. On the other hand 'To His Coy Mistress' opens with and idea of if the two lovers had enough time they would do great things. When Marvell announces 'Had we but world enough, and time/This coyness, Lady, were no crime,' he gives the reader an idea of spending all the time in the world with his lover, if they had all the time in the world. When Marvell uses the adjective…
The second paragraph in representation one is about street offenses and the police’s problem of detection. This is similar to representation two because the whole poem is about minor crimes and crimes on the streets. This is shown in representation two where ‘the streets are quite unsafe’. This relates to representation one because it talks about crimes committed on streets and how the streets have now become unsafe due to this. Representation one states that this type of crime is increasing thus making it harder to prevent.…

There is a noticeable mood change in the poem in the third stanza, going from the last sentence in the second stanza, “She stank of deceit,” To the first sentence in the third stanza, “ I loved her.” These are both used to great effect in the poem, not only because they have very different messages, one talks of hate, the other love.
