Two of his more successful and well-known poems, ‘No Ordinary Sun’ and ‘Bus Journey, South’ are strong examples that exemplify the point that metaphor is at the heart of poetry.

I think that Hone Tuwhare was extremely successful in producing two poems that hold fast to the saying that ‘Metaphor is at the heart of poetry’. The metaphors he uses help to create an atmosphere, and set a scene and tone for the poem.
