"She was buckets and water flouncing into them. She was winds pouring wetly round the house-ends" - Metaphors + Parallelism (sentences that have a similar form thus a definite pattern). "... brown eggs, black shirts and a keeper ..." - Tricolon stressing the fact of all the things Aunt Julia was. She is everything for the poetic voice. The metaphores further encapsulate the image of Aunt Julia: how organic and natural she was. "But I hear her still, welcoming me ..." - Present participle, showing that eveything is happening in the present (NOW), sense of action. The world is no longer so simple without her, showing that she was important. Poetic Structure: Irregularity of the poem makes it seem spoken / The stanzas divide the actions and ideas / The repetition of the 1st stanza in the last one, gives the audience a dramatic conclusion / The poem has a circular motion.
