D.H. Lawrence.
Of all the poets we have been reading about, I beleive Lawrence to be the strangest of them all in his style of poetry. most of his poems are prosy, non-rhyming, and metered in an artistic form. In "Snake" it is a very story-like poem if it were not for the technicality in metered verse. It is hard to derive meaning from such an elaborate story about a man's reluctance towards killing a snake. There are societal connotations of conformity in it. In "Whales Weep Not" Lawrence tries to establish love as a mystical sort of experience relating back to the gods of old and using other allusions. "The English Are So Nice!" has a matter-of-fact tone and is somewhat whimsicle. Lawrence's use of ploce keep it a bit more conservative than many of his other poems written in the same time during the 1930's. "The Ship of Death" is a long poem written with Roman Numeral breaks to give the poem an epic, or ancient Greek feel. It is a dark poem, with a positive light on the mystery surrounding death. Lawrence's poetry has a two dimensional feel, probably derived from his need to capture his real emotion at the time. He cover's a broad range of subjects in his poetry contrasting from many poets who publish poems of only a similar feel.
