Delight in Disorder

There are a few things that really stick out to me within this poem. The varied length of the lines reflect the title - almost illustrating something disorderly. The speaker also incorporates many oxymorons in the poem. One main oxymoron is found in the title, "Delight in Disorder." Many might find it odd to find delight in something disorderly. A few other oxymorons are: "wild civility", "fine distraction", and "sweet disorder." These oxymorons reflect the main theme being conveyed. The speaker is talking to his significant other and gives examples of how she looks with everything out of place. The speaker then states that he enjoys the disorderly and messy way she is.
