The characteristics that Disillusionment of Ten O’ Clock has to show that it is and modern poem is unconventional use of a metaphor. An example from the story is ” The houses are haunted By white night-gowns. None are green, Or purple with green rings, Or green with yellow rings, None of them are strange, with socks of lace And beaded ceintures.” Another is juxtaposition the example is ” To dream of baboons and periwinkles.” This poem also uses free verse because they have no rhyming scheme.

The Poem The Red Wheelbarrow uses fragmentation, an example of this characteristic is ” glazed with rain water”. The poem also use free verse ” so much depends upon a red wheel barrow glazed with rain water beside the white chickens” it would be the whole poem because it does not have any type of rhythm throughout the poem.   

Both authors have many similarities as well as differences they are both very good at using many descriptive words to get their point across. They both decided not to use any type of rhyming words for all poems. Although they both use descriptive words William’s poem is short but it still gets to the meaning .
