Her Early Leaf's A Flower Essay
They both have change in the poems. -NGCS-lines 3-4- This shows change because it says, “Her early leaf’s a flower” it means that it is the first bloom in spring and before, the flower didn’t even bloom, it was just a bud.

-AF-lines 18-19 This shows change because it says, “And the child? It’s toys are strewn in the yard like branches after a storm” it means that the child left his toys in the yard without taking them with him or her, but before, he or she use to play with them all the time in the sandbox.

Differences (Contrast)

NGCS rhymes but AF doesn’t rhyme. -NGCS- lines 3-4 This shows NGCS rhymes because it says, “Her early leaf’s a flower” “But only so an hour” those two lines rhyme. The first line means that it is the first bloom in spring and the second line means that something or someone doesn’t last or stay forever. Those two lines rhyme.

-AF-lines 1-2 This shows AF doesn’t rhyme because it says, “He was a big man, says the size of his shoes on a pile of broken dishes by the house. “A tall man too, says the length of the bed in an upstairs room;...” those lines don’t rhyme.

2. They both use personification differently. -NGCS-lines 4-5 This shows that NGCS uses it differently because it says, “Then leaf subsides to leaf” it is saying that a flower subsides to leaf. But in the abandoned farmhouse’s line it is talking about an empty house that has been left all by

Years makes the connection of asking questions about leaves, as it is her job, and gets people to start asking the questions that pertain to them.

She takes the idea of looking a little deeper and uses that as the basis of her job. Instead of being head-driven on one thing and having tunnel vision, stop and focus on a new…

The flowers have all wilted and lost their form. Just like love when we neglect it. When were lonely we’re blue. We get that dull spirit about us like the world is falling in. Our heart is wilted and lost its plump shape. The weeds have taken over, not only the yard but our body as well.…
