Descriptive Writing – Writing in PEE Structure

    Autumn – by Alan Bold

    Autumn arrives
    Like an experienced robber
    Grabbing the green stuff
    Then cunningly covering his tracks
    With a deep multitude
    Of colourful distractions.
    And the wind,
    The wind is his accomplice
    Putting an air of chaos Into the careful diversions
    So branches shake
    And dead leaves are suddenly brown In the faces of inquisitive strangers.
    The theft chills the world
    Changes the temper of the earth
    Till the normally placid sky
    Glows red with a quiet rage.

    Question:
    In ‘Autumn’, how does the poet present the effects of the season of autumn? Use the reference below.

    PEE 1 = Technique: Simile*
    P: Autumn is sudden and sneaky.
    E: “Like an experienced robber Grabbing the green stuff”
    E: Simile makes Autumn sound like a criminal… “green stuff” = leaves + money… reader feels shocked.
