Explanation:

Be the Best” is an inspirational poem penned by Douglas Malloch. He was an American poet and short-story writer and Associate editor of American Lumberman which is an adventure magazine based in Chicago. Born in Muskegon, Michigan which used to be the center of the lumbering (work of cutting trees and preparing lumber) industry; he was famously called as “Lumberman’s Poet”. Brother Malloch, as he was known amongst his brothers and friends, was brought up amidst the forest, logging camps, sawmills and lumber yards. The poet was fascinated by the ingenuity, power and sheer beauty of nature.

His poem “Be the Best” shows how keenly he observed Mother Nature. The title of the poem itself reveals the meaning of the poem and its concept. He is trying to tell us that whatever we do, we need to be the best. He has used examples from the nature to convey his message. The poet wants us to know that no job is less important and we need not be ashamed of what we are. Although we all dream of doing great deeds and being at the top, what really matters is the contribution we make to the society to make it count. We must take pride in our job and accomplish it with our best effort. It’s good to be a pine tree on the top of the hill, but you can still be noticeable by being the best bush beside the stream making the valley beautiful.

The theme of the poem is inspirational and instructional, making it a great didactic poem.

Form and rhyme scheme

The poem is very simple in theme and language. The poem consists of four stanzas containing four lines each. It follows a rhyme scheme of ‘abab’. The last word of every line rhymes with every alternate line like ‘hill’ and ’rill’, ’be’ and ‘tree’ etc. throughout the poem. Use of the conditional clauses beginning with ‘if’ gives the poem a good flow and supports the theme of the poem very well

Answer:

Douglas Malloch (1877-1938), known as the "Lumbermen's Poet," compares good men to good timber in this famous metaphorical poem. The message of this poem is that people, like trees, grow and reach their true potential by overcoming adversity. It is only through struggles, like a tree fighting through forest growth to reach the sun, that we grow and discover our true potential. Malloch lived in Michigan where he grew up amongst logging camps and lumber yards. He wrote his first published poem when he was still a boy; it was published in the Detroit News.
