upon reading 'spread ur wings', the audience is urged to engage in the practice of this statement. seeing as this is 'direct speech', the term 'your' may be ambraced by the reader, urging them to follow the poets orders, regardless of the fact that they do not have wings. in this way, it may be said that the readers themselves allude to animosity due to the poets direct speech.

along with metaphore, u cud talk abt 'provocative and high modality language. the line 'spread ur wings' is an order or command from the poet. this further portrays the poets authority over the characters in the poem and the realm in which they exist, the readers and also the poem as a whole.

you can connect all this to the purpose of poetry right? something about imagined worlds vs real worlds...and the power struggle all men yearn through...thus the urgency for authority as displayed by the line 'spread ur wings'...

very badly articulated i know. bt its almost 4am here.

hope that helps.
