The structure of the poem is very well done, it has three lines per stanza. The structure is like this as the poem shows patriotism. Also each stanza has a question and an answer, their are two people speaking in this poem, one that is asking the questions and the other one is answering the questions. In the start of each stanza it has a verb, the verbs are: fluttering, unfurling, rising, flying. This shows the reader the movement of the flag from the first stanza. The movement of the flag shows that it is getting more significant each stanza, this shows me that the flag is growing in power as the poem goes by. John Agard repeating the phrase “its just a piece of cloth” shows me that a piece of cloth is more significant than an actual flag. Each stanza ends that gives an image to the readers of patriotism.
