Galleon

Noyes that will send a chill down your spine. The poem uses very descriptive language to create a theme that will possibly leave the reader spooked. The opening lines, “The wind was a torrent of darkness upon the gusty trees, the moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy trees” use vivid language that fills the reader’s mind with threatening images that can remind the reader of an experience that he or she had. Noyes engages the senses in the first part by using descriptions of sights,…
