Sunny Prestatyn Analysis

Author: poem of Philip Larkin Type: poem Views: 9

Come to Sunny Prestatyn
Laughed the girl on the poster,
Kneeling up on the sand
In tautened white satin.
Behind her, a hunk of coast, a
Hotel with palms
Seemed to expand from her thighs and
Spread breast-lifting arms.

She was slapped up one day in March.
A couple of weeks, and her face
Was snaggle-toothed and boss-eyed;
Huge tits and a fissured crotch
Were scored well in, and the space
Between her legs held scrawls
That set her fairly astride
A tuberous cock and balls

Autographed Titch Thomas, while
Someone had used a knife
Or something to stab right through
The moustached lips of her smile.
She was too good for this life.
Very soon, a great transverse tear
Left only a hand and some blue.
Now Fight Cancer is there.

.: :.

this poem illustrates that the local population has clearly seen that it is being lied to: prestatyn, in "sunny" wales is a big lie, and the use of sexual images in the ad are degrading: this is why the image itself has also been degraded, and finally torn away.
Now "fight cancer" is there, and this serious ad has not been degraded, because it is no lie, it is all too serious and deadly to be turned into derision

I beileve this poem depicts the vandalism problems that Britain is all to common with. The commercial side of the poem 'laughed the girl on the poster', highlights the difficulties in coveying realism in individuals. This poem also passes off sexual inuendos, 'spread breast-lifting arms', which could also address mankind's obsession with sex.
