I knew the language of the floweret; "My fragile leaves," it said, "his heart enclose." Love long has taken for his amulet One perfect rose.

“Protocols” By Randall Jarrell We went there on the train. They had big barges that they towed. We stood up, there were so many I was squashed. There was a smoke-stack, then they made me wash. It was a factory, I think. My mother held me up And I could see the ship that made the smoke.   When I was tired my mother carried me. She said, "Don't be afraid." But I was only tired. Where we went there is no more .Odessa. They had water in a pipe--like rain, but hot; The water there is deeper than the world And I was tired and fell in in my sleep And the water drank me. That is what I think. And I said to my mother, "Now I'm washed and dried.” My mother hugged me and it smelled like hay And that is how you die. And that is how you die.

Situational Irony When what actually happens is not what is expected to happen Character and reader do not expect the outcome Example: A firehouse burns down
