    help!! Need to find the immageries for the poem
    the poem is called " A.B.C. of a Naval Trainee" by Roy Fuller

    is the anger we hide with some danger,
    Keeping it down like the twentieth beer.
    B is the boredom we feel in this bedlam.
    C is the cautious and supervised cheer.

    D is the tea dope and e English duping,
    Too feeble for folly, too strong for revolt.
    F is the adjective near every object,
    The chief of desires for both genius and dolt.

    G is the gun which can kill at, say, Greenwich
    If fired at St.Martin’s, and H is our hate.
    Non-existent behind it wherever we wind it.
    I is the image of common man’s fate.

    J is the Joan ort the Jill or Joanna,
    Appearing in dreams as a just missed train.
    K is the kindness like Christmas tree candles,
    Unexpected and grateful as poppies in grain.

    L is the lung or the limb which in languor
    Rests after work and will soon be exposed
    To M which is murder, a world rather madder,
    Where what we pretend now’s as real as your nose.

    N is the nightingale’s song that we’re nothing
    When the sky is a lucid darkening silk,
    When the guns are at rest and the heart is a cancer
    And our mouths make O at the moon of milk.

    Then we remember, no longer a number,
    We think of our duties as poets and men:
    Beyond us lie Paris, Quebec, Rome, where diaries
    Of millions record the same troubles and pain.

    S is the silence for brooding on violence
    T is the toughness imparted to all.
    U is the unit that never will clown it
    Again as the lonely, the shy or the tall.

    V is the vastness: as actor and witness
    We doubled our role and stammer at first.
    W is war to start the quarries
    Our everyday hunger and every night thirst.

    X is the kiss or the unknown, the fissure
    In misery stretching far back to the ape.
    Y is the yearning for Eden returning;
    Our ending, our Z and our only escape.

    can anyone help me with this?? To find the imageries... please help~!
