Question

what poetic device used in the poem 'The tree in season' by Robert fisher ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Repetition(anaphora) occurs in the first stanza...the forest that was empty ...reinforcing the idea that previously there was no life outside. Take note also of - where no bird/no insect/no sun.

Similes, in the second, third and final stanza involve both human and domestic elements - like newly discharged patients/like a voice/like a mirror.

Personification is to be found in the first stanza - no sun bury its feet in shadow...and the second - small twigs stiff with exertion/long-cramped boughs shuffling....and the fourth stanza - The trees are stumbling forward
