a poison tree summary

Scenario #2: We get the same basic set-up here. The speaker's mad again, but this time he's mad at his enemy. Will he follow the same route? You bet your bippy he won't. He keeps mum about his anger for his enemy and, well, that anger just grows. The speaker's anger is only heightened by his fears, and his continued deception about his true feelings.
Then, in an odd, metaphorical twist, the speaker's anger blossoms into an apple. Yum! At least the speaker's enemy thinks so. One night, he sneaks into the speaker's garden (presumably for a delicious apple snack), but it doesn't work out so well for him. The next morning, the speaker is happy to see that his foe lying dead under the tree that bore the (apparently poison) apple. Not good.
A Poison Tree is a short and simple poem about repressing anger and the consequences of doing so. The speaker tells of how they fail to communicate their wrath to their enemy and how this continues to grow until it develops into poisonous hatred.
The speaker describes how when they were angry with a friend, they talked to their friend about the issue which helped them to overcome their anger. However, the speaker was unable to do the same with an enemy and this leads to developing resentment and an even stronger degree of hatred. A metaphor of a tree growing in the speaker's garden demonstrates how the anger continues to grow.
Eventually the anger blossoms into a poisoned fruit, the enemy eats the fruit and dies and the speaker seems to be glad of this. However, there is also a sense that they see the destructiveness of what has occurred. The speaker wishes to convey that we can easily overcome our anger if we communicate it properly.
hope it helped!!^_^
