Both can occur together in satire or lampoonery.

A: "Satire" is when you make fun of something by overexaggeratedly acting it out yourself, especially when it's sort of a societal issue. I mostly use this word to describe a work of literature or a movie or something.

"Sarcasm" is when you say the opposite of what you mean in a certain tone to be really passive-aggressive about it, but that's a sort of specific definition. It's broader than that.

Either way, satire uses sarcasm within it, but satire is broader than sarcasm.

A: satire: parody
innuendo: a remark that has some inappropriate implications

A: A Satire is a comedic representation of something, typically in a funny way that mocks that thing (like the characters depicting real people on the TV show 'Saturday Night Live'). Sarcasm, in English, typically means you say a statement but use the tone of your voice to imply you mean the exact opposite (think of someone saying "thanks a lot" while rolling their eyes - they want you to know you didn't help them at all). Irony - that's harder to describe. Hopefully I helped with the first two.

Oh this one is interesting! From the things like, Apple Grenade (M67), marine, and Cocytus I have a sense that this poem has something to do with postwar reflection and death. There's a element of humor in the listing of “plants”. In English, we call this style a “Shopping List” and it's a way to create humorous contrast — being playful along with serious topics.

The reference to Cocytus and Nimrod's line from Dante's Inferno is the most interesting. Does Yasuo Irisawa reference these things too, or did you add those references?

Capitalization would be a good consideration to this poem! Capitalizing “Marine” here would indicate quickly to a english reader that you mean a “Navy Marine”. Lowercase “marine” in the context of poetry could mean “marine life” or ... initially made me think you meant “marina” instead of “marine”.

Capitalization is another way to use humor to your advantage. I see which plants are actual plants in the list. Just wanted to note another thing -- that in other styles English poetry, we also use capitalization to indicate and item vs. a person.

For example, capitalizing the “B” in “Basil” can suggest to a reader that it can be basil the plant or a person named Basil. In the context of your poem it could suggest that he killed or ate a person named Basil but also … simply, ate … the plant basil. www. But I know you don't want to do that, I'm just trying to give a relevant example 😂

Capitalization in native poetry is also a way that we regard things like the Sun, Stars, or Plants as living beings.

Doing something like:

「pomegranate, fig, akebi, ume, Mayumi, Tsukiyumi, Raphèl, Maì, Amècche, Zabì, Almi, Telomere, Caina, and Antenora.」

visually contrasts the actual "plants" from the literary references. It's a way to give the readers context that these things are different from the others. Without having to write an authors note!

It's a way some poets like to create a picture with just words. So something to consider! But of course, that is up to personal preference, so completely up to you.
