In her poem “The Fish,” Bishop describes her emotions when she catches a big fish and observes it carefully. The poet’s imagist style is found in her detailed description of the fish that she caught:
its pattern of darker brown
was like wallpaper:
shapes like full-blown roses
stained and lost through age.
Instead of using a specific rhyme scheme to give the poem a musical quality, Bishop uses literary devices, such as alliteration, to create rhythm in her poem:
still crimped from the strain and snap
She also creates a musical rhythm within the lines by using assonance:
frayed and wavering,
a five-haired beard of wisdom
trailing from his aching jaw.
I stared and stared
