In this assignment I am going to talk about two poems, the first one is "Not waving but Drowning" and the second one is "Song". After that, I am going to compare and contrast between these two poems.
"Not waving but Drowning" by Stevie Smith was written in 1957. I found this poem in a selection Faber, 1983. I like this poem because it tells us a serious thing in our life and which the speaker was suffering from that is the death. Actually, when I have read this poem, I felt sorry to the dead man because the victim was obviously desperate to gain his friends' understanding, but fails once again and his voice is the last as the speaker fades to black.
Stevie Smith was born in 1902 in Yorkshire, England. …
