Answer:
The rhythm and word choice in these three lines from Levertov's "Overheard over S.E. Asia" open the poem with a flat tone.
Explanation:
This is one of many anti-Vietnam poems Levertov wrote. The general tone at the beginning of these lines show a quiet sensation that could be considered flat, as people see the white phosphorus coming down as snow, later as the poem continues the tone changes in a very different direction, it goes from a flat presentation to a strong and varied poem.
I think that the phrase "sporting proposition" means a game of chance.
It was used in this dialogue:
"Simply this: hunting had ceased to be what you call `a sporting proposition.' It had become too easy. I always got my quarry. Always. There is no greater bore than perfection." (1.96)
When you say "sport" is infers a chance of winning and losing. There is no sure outcome.
In the above lines, hunting has become a sure deal and it does not invigorate nor inspire the hunters to do better.
