How do the poem’s language, images, and symbols convey its themes to readers? Do you prefer this type of modernist poem or more experimental ones? Why? 1) The poem "Birches" by Robert Frost starts off about the speaker describing the birches branches and how they imagine that some boys have been swinging on them. Then, sates that "swinging on them does not bend them down as much as ice storms do". I think the birches have to do with the feelings and emotional state the speaker is in. The poems language and imagery throughout describe the birches in each state of the weather and compares with the speakers emotional state. The imagery shows symbols on what the theme could be by using words as withered or bracken. Later in the poem the speaker describes a boy playing on the birches which suggest that the birch trees were a way of happiness in their life and wishes they could swing on them once again also but life "much like a pathless wood" gets in the way. I like modernist poems but I prefer experimental ones more. It may not be easy to get their meaning but everyone has a different meaning for it which makes them unique. 2) In “Birches”, Robert Frost describes a birch tree nearby. He begins to fantasize the tree is damaged due to boys swinging on it, but in reality, the tree is bent because of the ice storms. Frost uses imagery to connect with the audience. The speaker uses the boy as a sign of childhood, carefree and fun. Hence the bent birch tree. This poem shows the life between adults and children. Where if he were still young he could live in a world with minimal consequences. However, his increase in age shows him the reality of being broken my nature (ice storms effect on the tree). I do think this kind of modernist poem. It connects to because of my own transition between childhood and adulthood. Also, Frost’s modernist is simpler that many other poems.
