My suggestion is that you read through your favourite Harwood poems and jot down what comes to mind as you read them ie images , ideas, techniques etc. Then do a close read of Violets and Father and Child and re-read your class notes on these poems as well.
Then a brief mind map/plan that brings the ideas together and allows "your voice" to be heard .The FAQ response is a great source for adding layers to your response.
