The convergence of the Twain by: Thomas Hardy

This poem was discussing the sinking of the Titanic and description of it at the bottom of the ocean. The organization of this poem was very interesting. each stanza consists of two short line followed by a long like. The two short lines are description of the boat while the long line is description of the ocean. Although this may be a bit of a stretch the lines also seem to look like a boat floating on water. Poetry is different than other forms of writing because the poet can be creative with the format of the writing, the capitalization,dashes, and other ways grammar can be used in artistic forms. This poem was very descriptive but it really caught my attention because of the format.
