Question

1. Write the summary or the critical analysis of the poem

What Is Real

By K. Crenshaw

I saw a tree crying in the rain

A woman hurting with no pain

The wind blowing but I couldn't

prove it

The earth spinning but I could

not move it

The song itself could not sing

The thought it travelled with no

wings

The words alone could not

speak

The gauge could measure but

could not heat

The ocean roared but could not

rain

The valley moves not yet isn't

lame, and a deck of cards can't

play a game

A knife can cut but can't taste

the meat

And a drum can never hear a

beat

yet a broken heart can keep on

beating

Fall leafs can fall without

leaving

But can you cry without your

tears?

Can time go by and not make

years?

Can you lose your mind and

still be sane?
Can she hurt . . . and not feel

pain?

And a tree can't cry in pouring

rain

But looks can be deceiving and

memories can fail

Perhaps it was the woman

crying in the rain, and the tree

that could not feel

For who's to say what's really

real?​
