Summary of unfolding bud written by Naoshi koriyama

Answer 1

“Unfolding Bud” by Naoshi Koriyama contains the theme don’t give up on poetry right away.  To begin, the subject of the poem is poetry.  This can be seen in the second stanza of the poem.  Koriyama writes, “One is not amazed/At first glance/By a poem.”  Also, Naoshi uses a metaphor to show readers his theme.  He compares a poem to a flower which is a closed bud at first and then opens to a beautiful flower.  To explain, the last stanza creates this comparison.  Naoshi writes, “Yet one is amazed/To see the poem/Gradually unfolding/Revealing its rich inner self.”  He doesn’t want us to give up on a poem right away.  It is like the flower bud.  It won’t reveal its true beauty until it opens.  A poem will take many readings to reveal its beauty as well.  Naoshi uses repetition to emphasize certain images.  “Unfolding” is one word repeated.  “Again” is repeated as well to stress the importance of not giving up.
