Lost
Sinking ships bellow the surface
are like the fallen soldiers.
Fallen in the line
of active duty.
Lost forever in the tides
of change in the world.
Those who are not strong enough
get left behind.
But they don´t get a choice whether
they want to live or die.
They can never be recovered.
There may be others that
rise to take their place,
But never to be the same again.
This poem reflects Kay Ryan´s work in many ways. It is about a problem in the world that needs to be fixed. The one I wrote about was deforestation. It uses strong similes and metaphors to represent the problem. The poem also has very stark and maybe hard to understand the issue that is being disused. It also is written in the same style as Ryan with the short sentences split into short lines of the poem.
