This poem talks about a path of neglect that a man followed that led to the destruction of his red apple tree.

“The Colonel” stands out as a poem for two distinct reasons. The first thing that you notice is that the author chose an untraditional format. That‚ paired with the line “What you have heard is true. I was in his house‚” and the indifferent tone‚ gives more of a ‘journalistic’ vibe. Without directly stating it‚ the author hints at the theme of disillusionment. At the beginning of the poem‚ she begins by describing a seemingly ordinary family evening. “His daughter filed her nails‚ his son went out

Compare and Contrast ‘First Ice’ and ‘Manwatching’ The two poems I am going to compare and contrast are ‘First Ice’ by Andrei Vosnesky and ‘Manwatching’ by Georgia Garrett. The first obvious difference between the poems is that ‘First Ice’ is written by a man and ‘Manwatching’ is written by a woman. However‚ both poets seem to adopt a female persona. ‘First Ice’ is about “a girl” who has broken up with someone for the “first time” by phone call. The girl was planning to go out to a party with

is working well in this collection is the tone. As I was reading‚ the words Perez used made a visual image in my mind. Although the topics talked about (war‚ government‚ military‚ etc…) were very serious‚ the author managed to shift the tone using lighter lines with humor. I think the authors tone was intentional.
