The Problem of Describing Trees

    Rejection is introduced with the obviously negative word no.  Ending the 8th line of this poem, the two letter word changes the general feel and perspective of the speaker.  From there, the tone of this piece follows in the footsteps of the word no, and a harsh and metaphorical description takes place.  After reading the poem once, I felt as though I could sense the darker twist coming on before the word no.  No is where the rejection is announced, but words like drying and threw up give me unsettling images and hint at the rejection. The same word follows the original appearance and becomes structurally appropriate. Words like limits and disenchant support the rejection word.
