Question

Analyze the following poem carefully and critically from the perspectives of Theme(s), Setting, Diction (choice of words), Tone, Poetic Devices, Symbolism, Imagery, Rhyming Scheme, connecting it to Personal life and society.
He tried life like
A teasing tie at Uniworth,
But it was too dull.
Then he tried it like a
Sensuous shirt at Dinner’s,
But it was too tight,
He felt suffocated.
Also, he tried it like
A female shiny shawl at Khaadi,
But it suited him not, for it was for delicate ladies.
He then tried life like
A cool coat at Charcoal,
But it was too small. Then he tried another,
But it was too large. In Centaurus of life, he found everything,
Yet he felt nothing. His soul searched every room for its size,
But his nest was somewhere else.
