poem: the laburnum written by meeri Oberoi

Answer 1

Answer:

In the very title the name “laburnum” is predominant and it is putting forward the whole idea of the poem “The Laburnum Top”. The whole action in the poem is revolving around the laburnum tree itself. It is like the pivot around which the lives of the birds are circling round. The tree is the confluence where both the beginning and ending are getting mingled with each other. At the very beginning the poem describes the laburnum tree whose seeds have not only fallen but also the leaves have turned yellow. In the afternoon of September the tree top remains silent until a goldfinch appears. As soon as the goldfinch appears, there is a sudden strong tremor in the tree; there are noises of twitching of wings and chirping of bird language. It is the stimuli what led the entire tree to tremble. After the collection of food the goldfinch with its entire family it again launches itself in the sky in a mysterious way and the laburnum is itself in the sky in a mysterious way and the laburnum is reduced to silence and emptiness again. Thus the laburnum tree plays a central role in the poem “The Laburnum Top”.
