Explanation:
The poem 'The Trees' by Adrienne Rich shows the conflict between man and nature. With the growth and development of society, human beings have used nature for their own benefit and caused a lots of harm to natural environment. The poet wants to give the message that the presence of few trees inside our homes does not give us the feeling of nature. Real nature is outside, in the forests that we have destroyed. The poem tells us how the trees want to break free from the walls that humans have put around them and go out into the forest.
