Summary pf flower school
Answers
A huge carpet of yellow-coloured tiny flowers seem to descend down on the grass, as the seasonal flowers erupt with astounding glee.
Prior to appearing on the grasses, the tiny flowers seem to go underground to finish their home tasks. Only after they finish the tasks, they venture to come to the open. Just as a child is pulled up for coming to class with incomplete homework, the same way do not dare to prematurely blossom on the earth. Such likening of the wild flowers with school going youngsters is nothing but a figment of imagination conjured up by the poet, but it is so apt and enjoyable.
The rains arrival brings the respite from studies. The flowers come out to the open with frenzied excitement, the same way students welcome the start of the holidays.
As the winds sway the trees, the branches rub against one another and the leaves flutter filling the air with strange sounds.
The clouds roar with vigour and flowers of myriad hues make their appearance in unison.
The child is bewildered to see all these. He imagines that the abode of the flowers is in the starry sky, and they come to the earth on short annual sojourns.
In his innocence, the child perceives that the flowers are keen to go back to their homes. The flowers’ mothers are there in the sky and they can not remain away from their mothers for too long. So, they come, but go back hurriedly.
The child’s innocence is so endearing.

THE FLOWER SCHOOL
--RabindhraNath Tagore
The flower school by Rabindranath Tagore is a beautiful poem depicting his longing for his deceased mother. The poet starts the poem by potraying a rainy day scene from the cloudy sky and shower coming down in the month of June. The wind passing through bamboos produces a melodious sound. In the monsoon season, the flowers blossom out of nowhere and dance joyously; here the poet communes with his mother saying he feels to flowers go to underground school where they learn their lessons behind the shut doors; their master does'nt let them come out to play.
However, when the rain fall they have their holidays. In the rains the rustling of trees in the forest clash, the loud clouds make noise by clapping their big hands; at this time the flower children come out dressed in vibrant colours
In the last stanza, the poet's longing for his deceased mother evokes pathos in the reader's mind. He asks her if she knew the flowers' home too was in the sky among the stars. He again asks her if sh had not noticed how eager the flowers always were to get back to their home.
The last line of the poem brings tears to the eyes of the reader's. The poet says he knows why the flowers raise their arms to the sky. They do so because their mother is in the sky, exactly like the poet's mother who also become a star after her demise.
