In “Glasgow, 5th March 1971”, the poet creates a
particularly vivid description of a violent incident.
One of the most powerful ways he does this is by
describing the injuries to the victims:
“The young man’s face is bristling with fragments of
glass”
Morgan uses a metaphor to create a disturbing
picture of the young man’s face. The shards of
glass seem to make a beard, there are so many.
This is effective because it shows us how many
pieces are embedded, and how he will be
scarred. This horrible image is one of the ways
the scene is made vivid and memorable.

One of the ways this poem makes the

dramatic opening.

of shattered plate-glass
a young man and his girl

The poet uses enjambment in the first
sentence to create a sense of urgency in the
opening lines. This is effective because it
E makes it seem fast-paced. The metaphor
+“ragged diamond” has connotations of love
and marriage, so we feel sorry for the
couple, not only because they have been
attacked, but because they are young and in
L love. This makes the start very dramatic.
