No, the poem "Icarus Allsorts" by Roger McGough is not realistic. It is a work of fiction that uses fantastical elements and symbolism to explore themes of ambition, downfall, and the human experience.
Some of the themes in "Icarus Allsorts" by Roger McGough include exploration of human ambition and hubris, the consequences of taking risks, the fallibility of humanity, and the fragility of life. The poem also highlights the juxtaposition between aspiration and limitation, and the inevitability of failure in the pursuit of unattainable goals.
This poem must have been written in the 80s at some point as it was published in Form and Feeling, which was first published in 1981.
The words "when he [Icarus] fell" and "splash" best convey how Bruegel treats the fall of Icarus as insignificant and unnoticed in the poem. These words suggest a brief and almost dismissive treatment of a significant event, highlighting the lack of attention or importance given to Icarus' demise.

You must be referring to the ship that's mentioned. But it's worth noting that the poem isn't just a retelling of Icarus. It's referring to a painting, specifically, "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" which is attributed to Pieter Bruegel.

The line "The only way out is back" from the poem "Edge" contains an allusion to the myth of Icarus and Daedalus.
William Carlos Williams' decision to use short lines and stanzas in "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" creates a sense of brevity and speed in the poem. This structure mimics the fleeting moment of Icarus' fall and the poem's focus on the everyday activities of the surrounding figures. By condensing the narrative into short, concise lines, Williams emphasizes the abrupt and inconspicuous nature of Icarus' demise within the larger landscape.
