Question

write a summary of the poem"The poison tree' in your own words​

Answer 1

The poem "The Poison Tree" describes the peril of letting anger dwell within oneself. The poem employs a AABB rhyme scheme, and it details two scenarios concerning anger. In the first quatrain, the speaker is able to dismiss his anger because a friend made him angry. In the second quatrain, the extended metaphor concerning the poison tree is introduced, and the speaker talks about anger evoked by an enemy. The third quatrain continues to develop the extended metaphor. The fourth quatrain concludes the extended metaphor and reveals that the speaker delights in the destruction of his enemy.
