in the poem flower school written by Rabindranath Tagore
Answers
The poet says he knows why the flowers raise their arms to the sky. They do so because their mother is in the sky, exactly like the poet's mother who also became a star in the sky after her demise.

Answer:
The poem begins with a description of thunder coming from the sky. The speaker, we find out as the poem progresses, is most likely a child speaking to his mother. The child speaks directly to his mother during the poem. Rain falls on the land and the wind begins to blow amid the bamboo trees. It is at this point that the flowers show themselves in a vast array of colors in “wild glee.” The speaker then presents his idea that the “flowers go to school underground.” This is where the title comes from. The flowers then continue learning in their “school” with the “doors shut.” If they make the mistake of wanting to play too early, the teacher makes them “stand in a corner.” The “holidays” begin (as they do at the beginning of the poem) when the storms appear. It is at this point that the flowers (now described as “children”) come out to play in many colored outfits. The flowers grow up towards the sky, and the speaker refers to this as “their home.” The speaker then admits that flowers “raise their arms” towards their own mother, just like the speaker raises his arms to his mother.
This poem, then, is a beautiful rendition of spring through vivid imagery and personification.
