उत्तर
| Point: | |
| Title | ‘Basketful of Moonlight’ |
| Poet | Sunil Sharma |
| Rhyme scheme | The poem does not have a rhyme scheme, as it is written in free verse. |
| Favorite line |
“I want to light the dark route “I too want to hear fairy tales |
| Theme/Central idea | The theme of the poem is a child’s wish to light up his village road with moonlight to make travelling easier for the people in the village, and his expression of love for his father. |
| Figures of speech | Alliteration, Antithesis, Apostrophe, Consonance, Hyperbole, Repetition and Tautology |
| Special features - Type of the poem, language, style, tone, implied meanings, etc. | The poem makes superb use of the free-verse rhyme pattern. It perfectly illustrates how a child’s imagination can be creative and how their mind functions to address daily issues. It also shows how much a child wants to be with their father. |
| Why I like/dislike the poem | This poetry appeals to me because, like the author, I wish I could spend more time with both my mother and father. I particularly admired the young boy’s vivid imagination in devising solutions to the villagers’ problems. |
