: Re: Using a possessive pronoun before using its antecedent in a poem I was seriously wondering if it's a problem to use the antecedent, which is "Mr Spooner", after the possessive pronoun

Poems often use an implied antecedent and an implied or elided character. I frequently see "I", "You", "Him" and "Her" (and their possessive forms) with no explanation of who any of those persons are. For just one example consider the famous "Battle Hymn of the Republic" which begins with the line "Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord." The Narrator / I-figure is never identified in any way.
