Summary Of Autumn Poem

As human beings, we are changing each and every moment as we are introduced to new ideas, values and challenges by our surroundings. In Alistair MacLeod 's short story, "To Everything There Is a Season", the author depicts the anxieties and reservations of the narrator 's transition between childhood and the adult world. This story also allows the reader to understand the importance of change in one 's life. The story is set on Christmas Day and the weeks preceding, when the whole family was awaiting for the eldest brother 's arrival. By seeing through the author 's eyes, we can understand the turmoil and conflict as he feels he is trapped in between two sides; childhood and adolescence. Reluctance of changing, "Santa Claus",

     Frost moves onto autumn and shows what little life is left begins to wither and fall, or as he put it in the first line of the third set ?Then leaf subsides to leaf.? The playful spirit of the young is lost in time as age quickly pours what seems like endless duties upon adults. Things once learned are forgotten and the sun creeps slowly below the horizon. Time once again takes it toll on all things living

The poem is a reflection on the passing of time and how it changes us. It characterizes autumn as a time of decay and tension and describes some perspectives from the natural world before the onset of winter, including living beings and inanimate objects, to which the poet instills a consciousness. The poet tries to create an atmosphere of monotony and slowness throughout the poem for instance through the assonance of the letter “o”, with words such as ‘moves’, noon’, ‘over’. It is also

The scene is first set up through the personification of the sun. The poet uses interesting diction and phrases, such as “dipping” and “geometries” to describe nature. The sun is described with human characteristics, “build[ing]” these “geometries and orchids” and “riding/The last tumultuous avalanche”. It is like an almighty being that is capable of anything, including the controlling of nature. The poet wants to portray nature as a hidden yet powerful force that should not be seen as a simple concept. Contrasts,

Summer by Josiah Conder , is describe as an a completely opposite Summer than the one everyone is familiar with. When thinking of the summer, thoughts of heat, vacation, and fun are usually associated with it. Conder describes the Summer as being a miserable time, where the skies are gray and gloomy. The sonnet itself is English/Shakespearean model which makes it easier for Conder to express different ideas in each quatrain but still relate them. Also Conder was a poet during the Romantic era where any feeling could be expressed towards anything. And that is what Conder does when describing the Summer. In the poem the speaker is having a conversation with no one , while they describe the Summer. Conder uses diction, imagery, alliteration and metaphor to help convey the idea that the Summer is not as fun and appealing.

In” Winter Saturday” by Earle Birney, the poet develops the comparison between the farmers and caterpillars by visual and kinesthetic imagery. The harsh weather echoes the farmers’ empty feeling. A storm hit the town and the wind and the snow start while the farmers “find in the Ford their cocoon” (4), implying that they are alone facing the cold weather similar to caterpillars struggling to survive in the cruel nature. Their feeling of void is amplified by the chilling environment which induces their “dreams of light and sound” (7) which matches moths’ behaviour to approach light. When they arrive in the city centre where the lights are concentrated, their movement is compared to the moths beating wings as they “flutter to movie / [and] throb

John Nicholson Ireland(1879-1962) was a British composer who was consistently inspired by nature. He was born in Bowden, Cheshire, UK, and was orphaned by the time he was 15. Throughout his life, he frequently visited the Channel Islands where he was moved by the natural beauty. Rupert Brooke(1887-1915) was a poet, born in Rugby, Warwickshire, UK. Both Ireland and Brooke lived in the same time period, and were effected by the same historical events. Britain was knee deep in a world war for most of their adult lives. The war is known to have inspired some of Brooke’s most well known poems, but Spring Sorrow was neither mans most popular work.

The poem The Summer I was sixteen describes the summer of a sixteen-year-old American in the nineteen sixties. The writer of the poem, Geraldine Connolly, compares the shortcomings experienced by the United States to a sixteen-year-old summer. The theme of this poem is to remind the audience of childhood and calls for the need to enjoy the good fruits that life has provided.

T.S Eliot’s poem, “The winter evening settles down” is a short, simple to read poem with several different examples of imagery. Eliot uses descriptive words, for instance, “withered leaves”, “broken blinds”, and “lonely cab-horse” (lines 7-10). He paints an extremely bleak image of a town that seems to be deserted of people. The tone of the poem plays hand-in-hand with the imagery used. This town is an unpleasant place where it has seemed to be neglected for some years now. Eliot’s use of imagery takes the reader to this deserted, torpid place; however, at the same time, his goal is to bring the life back into this grim town.

In areas that winter seems to be eternal, warmer days are usually yearned for by the majority. The majority representing both vegetation and the people among a society. The coming of spring impacts everything in its surroundings, it is a time of revival. In the prose passage, the speaker describes the streets of London in detail and admires the beauty of spring. He establishes his attitude towards the coming of spring with a positive outlook, imagery of real life events, and praise for the season as a whole.

Why do they only want to see the absence of color, rather than embrace it.

Blooming cold, in a way a mercy for seasons past, seasons lost. Angels tread on virginal snow, downy wings amiss. A graceful end to cherry blossom days before winter.

I find this to be a deeply enjoyable poem. I take delight in it, even

Red and green and gold and orange dance across a crisp autumn sky, moved along on the currents of a steady breeze. Sunlight filters through leaves that still clinging to the towering Oak and Maple trees along the dirt trail. Little feet pound the ground, compressing the leaves and sending up puffs of dirt as a rabbit hops along through the underbrush. He startles a flock of birds which take flight and voice their anger at being disturbed with a chorus of shrill cawing. The little rabbit continues his journey, occasionally pausing to rummage around in the leaves, but finds nothing to his liking and proceeds with his hopping. A sudden noise makes him freeze in place. Cautiously, he settles onto his hind legs and his pink nose along with his ears twitch in search of a clue to what might have caused the disturbance. Having decided that the danger had passed the rabbit hopped up onto a log which spanned a babbling brook. He rests there a moment and allows for the coolness rising from the water to wash over him. After crossing the stream, he stops at the water’s edge lapping at the water with his tiny tongue. Once he has had his fill, he returns to his burrow nestled among a copse sapling maples, deep within the forest. The seasons of autumn and winter are paid tribute in these three sonnets: To Autumn, It Sifts From Leaden Sieves, and Fall Song written by John Keats, Emily Dickinson and Mary Oliver respectively. Each makes use of eloquent imagery in order to compose a specific

Season, weather or climates are important natural occurrences that happening on the earth. While these natural endowments vary from country to country based on geographical location and earth revolution, it is not inappropriate to say that seasons are natural occurrences that human cannot avoid at their own time, including their good side and their bad side. In America, the season is a crucial determinant for migration, business, and commerce, health, jobs availability, farming activities etc. one of such season is spring.
