Please Help me with this poem!!!?

Houses





People that live in these houses are not neighbours.


They keep thick walls between them. The painted ones of blocks and mortar can be jumped by someone determined to get over. Flower beds fringening a small lawn run along along them like ornate hems. Then burglar bars iron lacework strecth a net if he goes further. Those, though, can be holed by cuts.





The parpets that no one scales are never seen. They are forged of impregnable material shielding the heart's gate like plates of armour. No seige can conquer those defences. Climbers who try slide down unbreakanle glass. Privacy builds the barries that repel every assault ventured across set borders; griefs and celebrations kept tethered in their rightful compounds.





a. What is the poet describing in Stanza1? Mention TWO features he has associated with it?


c. In what way does the poet relate Stanza1 to Stanza 2?


d. Name the devices used by the poet in Stanza1 and give one example of each.

Wow. This one is too tough for me. But here is my hint:





The first stanza describes an open mind.





The second? A closed mind.
