$\color{violet}\huge\bold\star\underline\mathcal{AnsWeR}\star$

Juliet Wilson's  poem throws lights on the development of the cities with the help of the cranes, from the very beginning in the poem the poet tries to tell that it is about something which is no longer available. And the reason why cranes are no longer being used is because of the changing demands and there is a reduction of wetlands. And then the poet talks about the birds who have been lost, the poet is connecting the birds with the cranes, the poet says they both are similar to each other in terms of lankiness and the city life is destroying the birds and we now have the memories of the birds.

The poet also talks about the cities being made and nature has been compromised, we are watching videos of nature now and they both are in memories now. 

The poem talks to the people telling them that they should do something about nature rather than just watching the videos about nature. And the fading features of this poem are cranes and birds and the author throws lights on both of these things that the coming generations will not see them as they are now
