THE SEA
BY:JAMES REEVES
The sea is a hungry dog,
Giant and grey.
He rolls on the beach all day.
With his clashing teeth and shaggy jaws
Hour upon hour he gnaws
The rumbling, tumbling stones,
And 'Bones, bones, bones, bones! '
The giant sea-dog moans,
Licking his greasy paws.
And the moon rocks in the stormy cloud,
He bounds to his feet and snuffs and sniffs,
Shaking his wet sides over the cliffs,
And howls and hollos long and loud.

But on quiet days in May or June,
When even the grasses on the dune
Play no more their reedy tune,
With his head between his paws
He lies on the sandy shores,
So quiet, so quiet, he scarcely snores.

The Poem is all about a big grey sea with very large waves that is furious
The Poet wants to convey that the sea is so big and it has large waves it also have different kinds of moods sometimes peaceful sometimes angry so I agree with it
In the first paragraph the word bones is repeated so it's repetition also in the first
paragraph greasy paws sounds like imagery.
In every paragraph there are rhyming words
in the last paragraph i
think reedy tune is also imagery and the word so quiet is also repeated so again it's repetition
