Journal 20

I find that the poem Autumn that I just read basically the title speaks for itself. While reading this I was also putting into consideration the Romanticism period. While reading this I realized that he put a lot of description into this and the description was about nature and the farmers that are getting ready to get there crops. At one point in the poem he talks about the red sun which in my family and probably everyone else thinks it is also called the Harvest moon. I can relate to this poem because during Autumn there are farmers around my house all the time. It gets really annoying because when I head to school there are big farming equipment on the road and I get stuck behind them and for me it gets very annoying because I see it everyday. In the story it talks about farmers and them getting ready to farm there crop. The author talks how much of a beautiful time it is and how farmers are gearing up there oxes and getting ready to farm there crops. Like I said before during Autumn there are a lot of farmers out on the road and it can get really noisy. I actually have a friend that his dad is a farmer and whenever I go over there he is never there because during Autumn he is busy with getting his crops and making sure that he gets his field in shape for the coming winter. It said something in the poem that the farmers prayers attended, it is talking about or how I am interpreting this is that the farmers are praying for good weather and hope for a good season of growing crops. Overall this poem really does represent Romanticism with its very detailed and good coping with nature. It really does relate to my life and even though I do not like poetry that much I did enjoy reading this one.
