At the end of writing "Our Western Furniture", Fenton had already begun writing another sequence that employed a different poetic science. The new piece, "Exempla", was a product of Fenton's idea of using unfamiliar words or common words in an unfamiliar manner. "Exempla" also illustrated Fenton's fascination with a poetic yet objective tone and the use of scientific writing.

Fenton's unsettling use of traditional form to confront contemporary events, combined with images of comedy and violence is evident in poems such as "Out of the East" and "The Ballad of the Shrieking Man". Nonsense verse has always formed a part of Fenton's output and in these poems he employs its metrical and linguistic energy to explore the nightmarish scenarios of war: "The lice/The meat/The burning ghats/The children buried in the butter vats/The steeple crashing through the bedroom roof/Will be your answer if you need a proof." The jaunty rhythms of Kipling have turned into the hysteria of apocalypse. Less insistent but just as powerful formal effects are evident in "Jerusalem" where the conflicting claims the city inspires are expressed in alternating, mutually exclusive statements. Alongside these are more personal poems of love and regret such as "In Paris with You" which teeters beautifully between irony and romance.
