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.
