Analysis of "Radio"

In, "Radio," Laurel Blossom uses repetition and an annoyed tone to explain the aggravation of having a person break into your car when there's nothing of value in it. In a strange pattern of stanzas, Blossom repeats "no radio" over and over again. This repetition can seem somewhat annoying to the reader which allows them to empathize with the speaker. The way the poem is structured is somewhat choppy which might be a suggestion to what the car looks like after it was broken into. Blossom says, "In car, nothing of value," which gives the impression that the break-in was unnecessary because the car had nothing that a thief would want and really it's just an inconvenience for the owner of the car. The tone and repetition Blossom uses help create an image to the reader.
