Poem #14


"The Trees" By: Phillip Larkin

In this poem, Larkin compares trees to humans. The way they bloom is as if they are changing or they feel a certain mood. Also, they die just like us and they're lives are engraved in the tree trunks as our bodies are engraved in the ground. It doesn't even have to be death, everyone can start over ("fresh.")
