The Poem Analysis

Authors Note: This is my reaction/ response to the two poems "The Big Yellow Taxi" and "The Field Below." 

In the poem the "Big Yellow Taxi" you get a feeling as a reader that saddens you. It also makes you feel bad about what happen to the writer. I take it as a calling, not to take anything for granted, and you don't realize what you've got until its gone. Although in the song you get a amped up feeling, if you didn't know the lyrics and what the song was about you would get a good feeling out of it. The tone in the song is happy and glad, but the tone in the poem is sad and regretful. Then the mood of the song is amped up but in a sad way.

In the poem "The Field Below" you get the same feeling in the poem as the big yellow taxi, a feeling that saddens you and makes you feel bad. While reading the poem you are sympathetic to the author. Then in the poem the tone is sad and regretful. Then in the song it’s the same way even though you could barely understand what the singer was saying. The mood of the poem is calming and sad. Then the mood of the song is also the same way. It was sad and calming, it reminded me of the songs that are on the human society commercials.
