door by miroslav holob
the poem "the door" expresses change as an active commitment to embrace new opportunties, which may lead to a new perspective of life. the poet encourages the reader to take this inital phase of change through several ways like the repetition of the gramatical imperative "go and open the door" the use on the imperative voice has a strong persuasive effect it makes the line "go and open the door" a commmand that contrasts with the words maybe, if and even if.
