Titanic Poem

  • I particulary like stanza 8 because it brings the two componants of the crash together in a really poetic way (obviously because its a poem). The only thing i dont like about this stanza is the repition of 'grew', i think the second use of 'grew' sounds wrong and takes away the emphasis of the last word rhyming scheme.
  • I think the lexis used in stanza 2 and stanza 6 are interesting, because the words 'salamandrine' and 'cleaving' sound exotic and mysterious and honestly i have no idea what they mean but i think thats half the reason why i like them so much.
