Compare in the 2 poems how a sense of nature is created

poems are about a storm but in Storm on the Island the storm has not yet hit shown by ‘We are prepared’. In Patrolling Barnegat the storm has already arrived discerned by ‘Wild, wild the storm’ also at the end of the lines there are. There are two parts to Storm on the Island; the first is explaining what the land is like, then the storm actually hitting. In Patrolling Barnegat the rhyme scheme ‘running…muttering’ shows disorder. Nature in patrolling Barnegat is presented by showing it as it has no order ‘Wild, wild’ also it is shown by personification ‘the roar of the gale’ beneath the storm there is the sound of the wind. The waves are shown as ‘trinity lashing’ it is like a demonic trinity drives the storm. The language is very aggressive ‘Demonic, roar and savagest’. ‘Demonic laughter’ introduces us to a supernatural power. The alliteration of s ‘slush, sands and spirits’ sounds like a hard surface and the repetition gives the idea of the landscape. In ‘Storm on the Island’ the earth is seen as old ‘Wizened earth’. Nature is emphasised to show us what will happen ‘Blast’. The alliteration of ‘rock, roof’ and ‘squat, sink and slate’ brings all the different aspects together and it illustrates that this is not the first time there has been a storm. In the second part, when the storm actual arrives the language is more violent ‘exploding and bombarded’. The sea is referred to as an animal ‘tame cat turned savage’. The last few lines seems like the island is under attack, it is an extended metaphor. ‘We just sit tight’ shows us that he is referring to a fighter jet attacking. ‘spaces of salve’ reveal that there is simultaneous gunfire and it is like space is bombarding the island.
