| Notes | This poem describes the phenomenon of glaciers 'calving' - when a piece at the terminus of a glacier breaks off and becomes an iceberg. The speaker of the poem, in the second verse, changes the tone to a warning one, highlighting that the glaciers are bellowing like a herd in pain - too many off them are melting away in the unbearable heat of the planet. |
