Clever manipulation of time to create mood: by saying what happened “before”, after having divulged the danger of the hounds, there is a sense of inevitability and cruel condemnation of the deer’s effort to escape = an atmosphere of foreboding

As a painter, Cummings has a strong understanding of the moods of colours. The mellowness of the colour green clashes with the ornate brightness of gold, whilst the morning’s description of “silver” has a gloomy, glaring coldness

“lright check it see
a lot of times rapppers use the word thug very loosely
like they used the word love you know what I’m saying
and people outside of the circle start to blelieve that thugs are unintelligent people who don’t really know nothing but I’m gonna show them different I’m gonna show them how intelligent and how smart a thug is
Check it out, a thug will see like a rapper right with a deal, he’ll see
or go to one of the shows and see that he really don’t got no muscle
he got lyrics you know good deal, driving in limos and all that but he ain’t got no muscle his crew is weak, so what he’ll do is he'‘ slide in and say, "look here man you know what I mean, I’ve been feeling you’re shit
you spit that gangsta shit and he’ll start planting a seed in his head that he’s the same type of nigga as a street nigga which is not so and what happen then is that this nigga starts spitting on his record that he’s a killer, he’s a gangsta, he’s selling xyz, and the bottom line is he’s a cold coward and being a coward you know he’s going to fall victim to it cause he’s scarred to go against a nigga who’s a real killer anyway
So this nigga get’s up on them and starts telling em all these stories about how he’s live and all that and when it’s time to throw down and put your hands up he ain’t gonna do that, he ain’t gonna bust his gun, he ain’t gonna do shit but the fucked up part is he’ll get the blame, the law will come at him, he’ll pay for all the lawyers he’ll be the one sitting in jail with all that street credibility but he really ain’t that his heart really ain’t there. So my point is who’s the smart motherfucker here, the thug who sits back and not only does he know about the music business but he got in for free he ain’t have to do noting for so now you got a bunch of thugs in the game and I respect that more than that chump ass mo fucka gettin on the record taliking all that other bullshit

straight out the man’s mouth

The poem is written in the form of a sonnet. However, here, Cummings departs from iambic pentameter as is normal in a sonnet and inserts an inverted metrical foot: a trochee. This suggests his difficulty in expressing the helplessness of his lovers' new found relationship

These lines probably refer to the conversation leading to the breakup: great writhing words standing helplessly are his attempts to keep her from leaving him. “Uttering overmuch” refers to his incessant pleas.
