"I felt a Funeral, in my Brain" is poem with a WHOLE LOT going on. The most obvious of the plethora is the overload on the sensory side.
There are five senses of the human body. There are five stanzas in this poem. The senses feeling and hearing are the only ones used, however. I feel this extremely effective since, if a funeral is being held inside your brain (in the literal sense), you cannot see or taste it (in the literal sense). This is extremely effective because I can literally picture a person (with a transparent frontal lobe) sitting and listening into the attic of their cranium as a funeral is held inside. Things that can only be seen or heard are described.
The effectiveness of the sensory descriptions of the mournful actions of the objects inside the speakers head all derive from the use of sensory language.
