​

Answer 1

$\underline{\textsf{\Large{My Mother at Sixty Six }}}$ :

$\textsf{\underline {\large {Poetess : Kamala Das}}}$

$\textsf{\underline {\large {Book : Flamingo}}}$

The face of poet's mother was pale coloured, ashen - weak, painful, extremely aged. Her mother was too much fragile due to age - factor. Being too old, her signs of agedness could be seen over her wrinkled face.

Poetess Kamala Das compared her mother's face with a corpse ( dead body ) as no signs of action can be seen over the face of a corpse similarly poet's mother face was still and weak.

This poem aimed at our aged parents expectations from us. As poet was fearful of the pain of separation from her mother, but she managed herself and to restore the faith in her mother, she said good bye to her as she didn't want to distress her mother. She subjected the very thought of caring and selfless love for her aged mother.

This titles the theme of the poem, " Parents do not expect much from us, they just expect that the loan of love which we borrowed from them in childhood to be returned in their old age."
