Undeniable Things

Nanni Cagnone

            The poem is a free-verse and it has two stanzas, which is actually an excerpt of the original poem. The tone of the poem is melancholic, because it is all about death the rhythm of the poem is about relationship between the tone because the use of words construct perfectly and gives emotion throughout the poem. In a sociocultural context it depicts the culture of people in handling death of their oldies. The following are definitions of words seen in the poem such as; (1) Inclement is lacking-mildness, (2) Bewildered is deeply and utterly confused, (3) Indisputable is not disputable, (4) Mist is water in the form of particles floating or falling in the atmosphere, (5) Rustling is to act or move with energy or speed.


            The poem shows different figures of speech such as personification, because of the line ”at the end surging sunset, in the insecure maturing burning.” The interpretation of the poem is all about life, life that is near to death because in the other countries if your old and “useless” you will be sent to an orphanage by your family since they don’t value family that much. If you’re old they will hurt you physically and mentally and drag you down by saying “you will die soon”, “you’re unworthy of our attention.” But not all residents of each country treat old people like that.
