Trees
A tree, A tree
A playground for me.
A tree provides me joy
A tree provides me fun
The tree is reaching down to me so
I can climb it
I can swing on it
I can run around it.
When I am feeling blue
or got nothing to do
Trees can turn my feelings around
When I can make a tree my playground
Branches as slides
The tree’s body as a ladder
Once I am playing on this tree
Everything matters
OH NO!!
It is time to go
But next time
the trees will show
A tree is joy like a call of fun
Trees are for everyone
A tree, A tree
A playground for me.
-Mikael Reed
The central idea of the poem is, trees always make him feel better. Or he can always have fun on trees and the trees are his natural playground. He shows this by explaining his love for trees. For example in the poem he says "When I am feeling blue
ReplyDeleteor got nothing to do. Trees can turn my feelings around
When I can make a tree my playground." He shows how trees help him and how he uses the trees.
The mood is created when he uses refrain to describe the tree, a couple lines that stood out to me is, "A tree provides me joy
ReplyDeleteA tree provides me fun." These two lines made me feel the mood of happiness.
The mood of your poem is joyfulness. The line, " A tree a tree a playground for me," is repeated multiple times in your poem. You portray the mood by using refrain.
ReplyDelete"The tree is reaching down to me so"
ReplyDelete"Branches as slides
The tree’s body as a ladder"
I think the mood is calm from imagery because I can feel like I see the tree he has described.
