Question

i need help depicting a poem using literary terms. The poem is Dear Sister and goes:

Do not believe what all you read
in the papers, Leona, about the strikers
being reds. It is true, the Communist Party
of New York sent down a truckload
of potatoes. You will find them rotted
where our boys turned that truck over
down by the creek bottom. Not a one took.
We got people down here that's hungry
but not for communist potatoes.

yr. loving brother,
Oren Ash
