Talking about Wall (the poem not the ice cream)
The first impression when I first saw (not even read it yet) this poem by Abdul Ghafar Ibrahim is ‘WOW’, this is a very unique poem not just from its radical form of writing but also its’ content that only have 5 words in the poem. This poem has no stanza and has one line and words written in box-shape matter however when I read it I can see what the poet wanted to show and actually even a beginner reader of poetry also can see what the poem is all about because the way the word ‘the wall’ is constructed and where the line ‘I cannot escape’ is put show the theme of the poem. I can say that the poet succeed very well in conveying his intentions through this poem and with the least choice of words readers still can feel the persona been trapped in the wall. All I can say is that this poem is so simple yet so powerful and beautiful.
