Pied Piper of Hamlin

A narrative theme that Browning seems to use throughout most of his poetry is one of Time.
In that creating a specific location described as 'Hamlin Town's in Brunswick.By famous Hanover City', creates a vivid glimpse, a picture if you will, of how one should picture the the story being told as a first person.
In comparison to the Pied Piper- 'The Patritot', seems to have some similarity in showing Time and or a description of how time displaces itself from being something relating to the present time. Rather, it describes something in the past, something of memory, a recollection, which is another significant trait acknowledged within his poetry as stated in the Patriot 'A year ago to this very day', showing how Browning in comparison to a quote in the Pied Piper of Hamlin, shows how he starts of the foundation of his stories through poetry, 'But, When begins my ditty, Almost five hundread years ago, To see the townsfolk suffer so, From vermin was a pity'.
Another signaficant factor of how Browning tells his story through poetry, is through the Structure, how he lays out his Poetry.
Comparing the 'The Last Duchess' and 'Fra Lippo Lippi',to 'The Pied Piper' and 'The Patriot' Poems  the structure is very Important, showing a very distinctive technique Browning has used. Which is the fact that in the poems that are more descriptive in memory, there written in a linear style narrative, whereas the 'Pied Piper' in particular is written in a more poetic style, each sectioned and numbered,but also being concise creating levels of layers in which the story seems to unfold, also by the use of Iambic tetrametre, which is another of Browning's techniques.
This in terms of effectiveness creates room for questioning that whether by chapterising each stanza, time and the pace of reading the poem changes the whole view of the story, and indeed it does.
Instead of thinking or relating the meaning behind the story of the 'Pied Piper' with the reality the use of the rhyhm i.e Iambic Tetrametre, with the use of coinciding rhymes creating a 3 verse rhyming stanza making it seem innocent and just a poem described as 'A Child's Story.
So in conclusion, also pointing out the fact that at the start, the use of In Media Res, makes it tricky to realise that in fact that this is indeed story, told from memory, told to a child and as a third person who is being talked to at the end of the poem - 'So Willy, let me and you be wipers, Of scores out with all men - Especially Pipers', a story which ends in a moral being told.
Saying that's it's 'A Child's Story' does not make it so, Again meaning the poem has a much deeper underlying point to be made, which is yet again another method of Browning's.
The use of enjambment, making the poem seem always flowing into each verse, always having that trippy feeling to it, also in creating stressed verses and emphasising on each one, with words that seem to stand out exaggerated by use of exclammation points,to highlight significance of the verse, I.e in Stanza 10,the use of the word 'Rats!' Highlighting the key factor of which the story is about.
