Question

what do the young sprinting trees signify in the poem my mother al sixty six?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The young trees are 'sprinting' that is rushing past the poet as she is travelling in a very fast-moving car. While travelling in a speeding vehicle, the objects outside appear to be rushing past us in the opposite direction. These sprinting trees are in stark contrast to the passive old lady sitting inside the car.

Answer 2

Answer:

These sprinting trees are in contrast to her passive old mother who is sitting beside her in the car.
