Poem moon wind question and answer

Answer 1

In this poem, the poet provides us with a very strange picture of the wind that he imagines to be present on the moon.

The strong wind in the moon would blow away everything on moon.

The burning candle in moon will dance and shiver even in still silence.

Like a huge swan flying in the sky, the huge tent would be blown away by the moon wind.

Answer 2

Answer:

there are numerous ones like:

Q1:what sort of things happen on the moon in spite of there being no wind?

Answer: The moon has less weight than earth and hence, lesser gravity, this is the reason why everything gets blown even when there  is no wind. This is the 'DEAD STILL BLAST' the poet was talking  about. the poet imagines people living on the moon and what there life will be like. People standing on streets would be knocked down by a squabble of chickens and cabbages. a tent would be floundering in the air like a swan at the sea. A pond tearing twisting in midair with frogs would cover you entirely. A Ferris wheel, would go past you, like a somersaulting giraffe. This all would occur because no screws, roots nails can resist the moon's dead still blast.

Q2: Why does the poet keep repeating the words, 'utter utter stillness'

Answer: To emphasize on the fact that everything on the moon is still, there is no wind blowing but still all this crazy stuff happens, in the absence of gravity. As he said in the last 2 lines, "Nothing can resist the moon's dead still blast"

Q3:What is the 'Dead still blast' the poet refers to?

The 'dead still blast' refers to the abruptions provided by the absence of gravity. When there is no gravity nothing holds still. So, even in the absence of wind everything is floating and flying about. Even a candle shivers out(due to the absence of air) by the dead still blast. This can n[be deadly as once you are knocked out and there is no gravity you will be floating in space forever.

(FINALLY THE LAST QUESTION)

Q4:What are the examples of alliteration, in the given poem?

Answer: "Camp of Caravans" "Swan at Sea" and "Stand on the Street". 'Utter Utter' is not alliteration, as although the starting letter is the same it has a sound of a vowel "Utter Utter"
