Answers
Answer:
1) The title of the poem is “Basketful of Moonlight”.
2) The poet’s name is Sunil Sharma.
3) The rhyme scheme is: Free-verse.
4) Favourite Lines:
“I want to light the dark route
so that my father returns early.”
“I too want to hear fairy tales
and stories from him.”
5) Theme/Central Idea:
The central idea of the poem is a child’s desire to spend more time with his father. It is about a child’s imagination where he thinks he can help his father and other villagers return home early by lighting their path back from work with seeds of moonlight.
In this poem, a child admires the beauty of the moon and requests the moon to give him it’s moonlight. He want the moonlight as everyday the villagers including his father get late returning home due to the dark and dangerous path from the city to the village. By sowing the seeds of moonlight on the sides of the path, he feels his father will be able to return early before he goes to bed and spend more time with him.
6) Figures of Speech: Alliteration, Antithesis, Hyperbole and Repetition.
7) Special features: The poem uses the free-verse rhyme scheme perfectly. It clearly shows how a child’s imagination can be innovative and how their mind works to solve everyday problems. It also depicts the desire of a child to spend more time with his or her father.
8) I like this poem because I too would like to spend more time with my father as well as mother. I also liked the great imagination of the child to solve the problems of the villagers.
