In the poem 'On Killing A Tree,' the poet Gieve Patel describes the cruelty of man in killing the tree with irony and a sense of detachment. However, his own sympathy lies with the tree and nature.
Cambridge English Dictionary defines 'irony' as 'Irony is a style of writing in which there is a noticeable, often humorous, difference between what is said and the intended meaning.'
