In Theodor Roethkes My Papas waltz the reader finds a horrid experiance, the fluttering of a pincer by his don, which is told in a way of a romantic and beutifull bound - the waltz. The feeling virtuoso get from reading this verse is that the narrator, at least at the time in which the metrical composition is written, does not look at this experience as something bad. He tries to beutify the experience by making it a waltz. He also, by means of forecasts and rythem, shows the conflict between the readers, or the way any(prenominal) other normal man will look at this experiance, and how he sees it, or wants it to be seen ( although he does not show his father as completley innocent). It can also be looked upon as the secondary Herst syndrom - meaning having a reality so intense and strong that one feels incapable of any other reality, fearing it can and will be worse.
The poem is built of four stanzas( quatrain ), each consisting of four lines. The rhyme scheme is, in the first stanza - abab, in the second - cdcd, in the third - efef, and in the fourth - ghgh. The meter is trecet iamb ( stress unstressed - three times per line ).
The central image in the poem is the metaphor in which the beatings are exposit as a waltz. The poet is led around the house, dancing - not beaten around. Which is also brought throu by the meter - trecet iamb - the beat of the waltz, thus the main image is shown through the meter as well, giving the reader more of the feeling of a dance in contrast to the secondery images which are more associated with the rough experiance of a beating.
