  1. When I read the word ‘concrete’, I first think of cement and construction materials. It also means something strong, definite or real. In this poem, the word has two meanings: the neighbour’s stone-filled garden and the poet’s ‘clear example’ of unusual gardening. This double meaning adds humour and depth. Thus, ‘concrete’ shows both literal stones and the figurative, clear nature of Mrs. Jones’ unusual gardening habits.
