उत्तर
Appreciation of the poem ‘Basketful of Moonlight’
- Title: ‘Basketful of Moonlight’
- Poet: Sunil Sharma
- Rhyme Scheme: The poem does not have a rhyme scheme as is written in free verse.
- Favorite line:
“I want to light the dark route
so that my father returns early.”“I too want to hear fairy tales
and stories from him.” - Figures of Speech: Alliteration, Antithesis, Apostrophe, Consonance, Hyperbole, Repetition, and Tautology
- Theme/Central Idea: The theme of the poem is the wish of a child to light up his village road, using moonlight to make travelling easier for the people in the village, and the expression of his love for his father.
- Special features: 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 issues that arise on a daily basis. It also shows how much a child wants to be with his or her 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 coming up with solutions to the villagers' issues.
