Limbo<br />
Tells of a journey on a slave ship – <strong>from</strong> Africa to<br />
America.<br />
Written like a song, with a ‘chorus’ in italics. This<br />
gives it a distinct rhythm.<br />
The mood changes through the poem – <strong>from</strong><br />
confusion and fear to hope.<br />
It reminds us of the limbo dance, which is very<br />
difficult as the dancer tries to bend under the limbo<br />
stick, but easier on the way back up. How is this<br />
linked to the ship’s s journey?
