Formalist Approach: Naming of the Parts
NAMING OF THE PARTS
by: Henry Reed
Today we have naming of parts. Yesterday,
We had daily cleaning. And tomorrow morning,
We shall have what to do after firing. But today,
Today we have naming of parts. Japonica
Glistens like coral in all the neighboring gardens,
And today we have naming of parts.
This is the lower sling swivel. And this
Is the upper sling swivel, whose use you will see,
When you are given your slings. And this is the piling swivel,
Which in your case you have not got. The branches
Hold in the gardens their silent, eloquent gestures,
Which in our case we have not got.
This is the safety-catch, which is always released
With an easy flick of the thumb. And please do not let me
See anyone using his finger. You can do it quite easy
If you have any strength in your thumb. The blossoms
Are fragile and motionless, never letting anyone see
Any of them using their finger.
And this you can see is the bolt. The purpose of this
Is to open the breech, as you see. We can slide it
Rapidly backwards and forwards: we call this
Easing the spring. And rapidly backwards and forwards
The early bees are assaulting and fumbling the flowers:
They call it easing the Spring.
They call it easing the Spring: it is perfectly easy
If you have any strength in your thumb: like the bolt,
And the breech, the cocking-piece, and the point of balance,
Which in our case we have not got; and the almond blossom
Silent in all of the gardens and the bees going backwards and forwards,
For today we have the naming of parts.

ANALYSIS:
Analyzing naming of the parts may take you to many conclusion. Different version may come as we continue to ponder what particularly this poem mean. The poem may take us in different world such as in the world of war or might be in the world of nature. Each stanza of the poem contains imageries which eventually plays the reader's senses and it somehow provides a denotative and connotative meanings.
But as long as formalist approach is concern, the best way to look in this particular poem is that, the poem is a free verse poem. The poem does not follow any particular rhyme scheme and also it does not have rhyme within each lines. The word "we" poem suggests that the poem is written in a third person point of view. The writer uses element of poetry such imagery, similes, and metaphor in the poem which is present fifth of the first stanza and the second line of the fifth stanza.

After which I have come into a conclusion that the poem is about a military man who is at the same time a nature lover. He appreciates the beauty that transcends though every aspect of nature. Though maybe he is a bit tough considering that he is a man that must show stiff attitude, he still shows his soft side. On the other hand, the poem also shows how the military man cleans his rifle step- by- step.
