Analysis Of William Carlos Williams 'View Of Lake'

In the piece of poetry which is “View of a Lake” written by William Carlos Williams there are many below the surface messages to be found. One of these messages in particular stood out to me from the others in this poem. That message is that some children are away from their homes. Evidence of this is on lines 12-14 of the “View of Lake” poem when it says, “stands three children beside the weed grown chassis of a wrecked car”.
This part of the poem gives the reader an impression that the three children are not by their homes. These children are around a wrecked car chassis which most homes don’t have around them. Also the place the three children are has overgrown weeds and is overgrown with them which again most homes don’t have.
