Answers
Answer:
The poem "Moon-Wind" is a fanciful trip into the author's imagination. He begins the poem by stating that "There is no wind on the moon...yet things get blown about. In utter utter stillness." The rest of the poem describes how a candle, cabbages, and even a Ferris wheel cannot "resist the moon's dead-still blast." The idea of opposites is present throughout the poem; everything is knocked over by a wind that is not present.
Explanation:
Ted Hughes' poem "Moon-wind " is full of unrealistic events. He imagines the most unlikely scenarios, including a large tent flying by, hens and cabbages being blown about by the winds so roughly that they threaten to knock a person down in the middle of the street, the pond waters throwing a frog around, a fleet of parked caravans suddenly flying and a Ferris wheel that comes loose and is seen high up in the sky. Other than this, anything and everything that functions like an anchor including roots and the foundation of buildings as well as hardware that keeps things together like nails and screws can all be seen being blown about by the non-existent wind on the moon.
