Sign Inventory - week 5

One Art - Elizabeth Bishop

The poem repeats lines for reiteration such as "the art of losing isn't hard to master" and the word "disaster". The last stanza breaks the three line pattern. There is consistent rhyming throughout the piece. It goes from minor losses to something more detrimental. The gradual climb of what is lost. There is losing within control and losing out of control. Though things lost out of control are put in a spectrum of language that is appears that it was all controlled.
