Poem #1

In the poem On A Passenger Ferry, the author Jean Valentine uses a series of images to create a scene on a boat. In contrast with the crowded deck of the boat, an isolated woman is described as working in a school book. Although the poem is short, Jean Valentine uses these few images to express a scene that can easily be pictured in the reader's mind. I am not sure of the message or meaning of this poem, but i found the language used to be very intruiging.
