poem 1 | Ryansouza

From the Shore

A lone gray bird,
Dim-dipping, far-flying,
Alone in the shadows and grandeurs and tumults
Of night and the sea
And the stars and storms.

Out over the darkness it wavers and hovers,
Out into the glooms it swings and batters,
Out into the wind and the rain and the vast,
Out into the pit of a great black world,
Where fogs are at battle, sky-driven, sea-blown,
Love of mist and rapture of flight,
Glories of chance and hazards of death
On its eager and palpitant wings.
Out into the deep of the great dark world,
Beyond the long borders where foam and drift
Of the sundering waves are lost and gone
On the tides that plunger and rear and crumble.

By Carl Sandburg

My 5 step process

step 2

Some evocutive words that i spoted out was dim dipping, granderus, and tumults

step 3

Figurtive language ( of nigth and the sea, where frogs are at battle, glories of chance and hazard of death)

step 4

The structure of this poem goes by a pattern from gothing in the ocean to the worst things take can be case by the ocean

step 5

The big idea the big idea of this poem is that the ocena is there to have fun, party with friends, and to go swimming, but the ocean can be a very dangerous place at times.
