Asked by Michael

As he looks up at us
with his fear glazed eyes
does he picture us buzzards
circling round his bed
waiting patiently
for his death and his bones?

I need to find an example of figurative language in this so I know that he picture us buzzards is sonething but I don't remember so please help

Are the buzzards speaking in this poem?

Answered by Michael
No it's basically about a man who is speaking who's brother is dying. So the dying brother sees his mother and brother as buzzards.

Also what language is used in this poem, like slang, formal etc?
Answered by Michael
No just his mother his brother
who could do nothing for him
when he sat with the living
and can do nothing now
as he crawls toward death

That's the rest of the poem
Answered by Writeacher
You'd have to consider the WHOLE poem, not just a few lines in it.

It's not written in slang.
