The poet visualises the top of a tree as its head and compares its roots to human feet.the poet has personified tall trees as tall human beings.the trees are so tall that their heads seem to be close to the clouds but their feet (roots)are firm and steady in the earth.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

I would say, the feet would be the roots and the head, the branches and leaves.

According to my analysis, I feel this is appropriate as the the phrase, “Feet firmly planted on the ground”, describes the comparison perfectly. The roots keep the tree firmly grounded, just as your feet would. Also, the roots carry the weight to the tree to stay upright. As far as figurative representation is concerned, the essence of the living being is in the roots and the legs respectively. The legs of humans hold the essence of being able to walk and move, whereas the roots hold the essence of being rooted and held strongly.

The head is the branches and the leaves because of their versatility. In terms of the figurative uses in poetry, just as how we use our brains to create the most amazing thoughts and marvels, so does the branches house an amazing variety of species among its folds. The colorful thoughts we create are at par with the colorful combinations found in the depths of the tree.
