You’re A poem which I found striking, largely because of the poet’s imagery, is the monologue poem “You’re” by Sylvia Plath. The poem is about the poet who adopts the persona of a pregnant mother talking to her child and describes the baby’s position while it is developing in the womb throughout. It is a very happy event and a joyful experience and she conveys her emotions by comparing the baby to a fish, using vowel sounds to convey different stages of pregnancy and using changing imagery to indicate how the baby and herself are feeling at the early and late stages of pregnancy. The title of the poem “You’re” is significant because it is the conjunction of two words “you” and “are” which is celebrating the life of a newborn baby and which leads into the poem. The title itself symbolises the idea of two people coming together to form a baby. She uses two stanzas to structure the poem each having nine lines. Plath has deliberately used this feature in each stanza as it takes nine months for a baby to be fully produced.
