Question

What did Tennyson call the poem ''The Flower''?

Answer 1

Answer:

In 'The Flower', Tennyson uses the metaphor of planting a seed and nurturing it so that it grows into a flower for the act of creating poetry.

the poet, Tennyson talks about general wisdom; through this metaphorical poem he tells the readers that new ideas, endeavors are initially scoffed at by people. And when that new idea or endeavor becomes popular, people far and wide imitate it.

This fable is an irony because at the beginning people say the flower is “a weed” (line 4), but then they say “splendid is the flower” (line 16). It is a moral poem because the poet tries to show all people a flower but nobody want to see it.
