Consider the ways in which at least two poets have included aspects of time in their poetry through their effective use of stylistic techniques. in the poem grandmother in the stars the poem talks very in depth about the past present and future life. this is explained through the beginning middle and end of the poem. the poet is describing her grandmother and the long lasting  relationship that she will continue to treasure and have for the rest of her life and afterwards. this was very effective because it she brings up all the memories that keep her grandmother still relevant and present in her life. she puts a lot of emotion into this piece especially in the beginning showing her un comfort and struggle with not having her grandmother in the present but having memories to serve as the replacement of joy that she wants.the other poem t...
