The poem called the falling leaves is a diary written about what had happened on that day. One of her quotations was, “Today as I rode by, I saw brown leaves falling from their tree.” By that she is thinking about her family, I know this because this diary was based in Novemeber 1915 and that is during World War One and she is thinking about her family going to war and imagining what is happening to them right now, pain? injury? Or even death? Every time she sees the leaf fall slowly and “thickly and silently” towards the ground, she is probably thinking about her family.
The poem called Hawk roosting is about a hawks day, similar to the poem “The falling leaves”. One of his quotations was, “I sit in the top of the wood, my eyes closed” this means that he was standing on the top of the tree and was imagining about what happened during that day. The message of this poem is saying that the hawk is in control of what he does and he can do whatever he wants. He is acting like a predator and wants to eat his prey. One of his quotations was, “I kill where I please because it is all mine.” Another quotation was, “My eye has permitted no change. I am going to keep things like this.” These two quotations show that the Hawk is in charge and is acting like a king and he “sits on the top of the wood” above everyone else.
