Answer:

Pathos (emotional  details that cause a  reaction from the  reader)

Explanation:

In this poem, the poet uses emotional words to obtain pity from the reader. He describes his condition of unavoidable poverty. Just as a pregnant woman had no choice in carrying her pregnancy, so was the poet whose poverty made him smell, left him in the cold and without shoes, and made him manage sleeping with five other people in the same bed.

The description is pitiable and is an example of pathos that appeals to the emotions of the reader.
