The Cherry Trees
The cherry trees bend over and are shedding
On the old road where all that passed are dead,
Their petals, strewing the grass as for a wedding
This early May morn when there is none to wed.
"The Cherry Trees" is almost an imagist poem written by Edward Thomas. According to me, the mood of the poem is romantic and melancholy. It is a very sweetly sad poem about death, solitude and silence, the haunting recurrence.
I like the most about his opinion in this little poem, which is more about the generic experience of human mortality rather than the ravages of war.
The Owl
In this poem, the Owl tells the story of a soldier who escapes from the battlefield, leaving soldiers struggling with veritable death. I like the most about this poem is that the poet express his experience of war and how he made decision to survive in cold night. he poem is about escapism-battle, human suffering, the moral responsibility of man, the inhumanity of the warfare, the pathos of the class-divided society.

ReplyDeleteThe analysis of each poem is simple and clear. The Owl is a strong and expressive poem. Edward Thomas beautifully portrays the story of a soldier and I totally agree with Kalagi that it creates an emotional connection as you read the poem. In my opinion, when the soldier was resting in the inn and listens to owl's cry, his conscience and humanity woke up. He later realized his responsibility as a solider and regrets for other soldiers who were not able to escape the battle.
