Green Shoots pushing through
The cracked concrete pavement
Have faith in sun and sky
And hope for good
As they proclaim the ecstasy of rosedom
From the redbrick tenements
My warrior angle tongue
Roaring fury
No longer through a glass darkly
But with the clarity of I am
And I love
I proclaim
I am a man
I found a few words we need to know. They are Evanglist-any one of the authors of the four New Testament gospel books, Ecstasy-intense joy or delight, Clarity-clearness of appearance, Tenements-a building for human habitation, esp. one rented to tenants. This poem is literally about him becoming a man. Its title is relevant because having faith you might become a man. The author uses metaphor and personification. Some examples are Roaring fury and My warrior angle tongue. The poem's form is free verse. The speaker of the poem is Jimmy wall because he uses I. The shift occurs when No longer through a glass darkly because if you believe in god you could become a man. The tone of this poem is proud. I interpreted the theme as believeing in faith you will be a man. The following subjects and symbols helped me come to this conclusion that if you believe strongly in your faith you will be a man.
