Can anybody figure out the trick in this poem? Mr Logue's group have been looking at different types of poems and exploring how powerful the images are that we get from them.
I Saw a Peacock, with a fiery tail,
I saw a Blazing Comet, drop down hail,
I saw a Cloud, with Ivy circled round,
I saw a sturdy Oak, creep on the ground,
I saw an ant, swallow up a Whale,
I saw a raging Sea, brim full of Ale,
I saw a Venice Glass, Sixteen foot deep,
I saw a well, full of mens tears that weep,
I saw their eyes, all in a flame of fire,
I saw a House, as big as the Moon and higher,
I saw the Sun, even in the midst of night,
I saw the man, that saw this wondrous sight.
Leave a comment telling us what you think the trick to this poem is!!
all the end parts of each line are muddled up!!!! lauren H!!
ReplyDeleteThe end bit of the poem dont make any sense because you cant see the sun in the midst of night you would see a moon
