<em>Metaphor, personification.

<u><em>EXPLANATION:
</em></u>
<em>
</em>
<em>The poem cherry tree is about the cherry tree which the poet wants to plant. He sow the seeds and seeds grow into a sapling and then in to a plant. It took eight years for the plant to produce cherry after so much struggle like extreme cold conditions, goat eating leaves of the tree, fungus of the plant etc.,
</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>Metaphor is a figure of speech in which the poet compares two things but cannot be taken literally. Example:’ Ripened and jewelled in the sun’ he tells that the berry is like a jewel in the sunlight which shows us that he admires the fruit but not ‘it looks like a jewel’.
</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>Personification means the author's way of behaviour the plant or any non living thing in comparison with a human being. Example: The flower danced in the cool breeze. In this poem it says about the cherry tree. ‘Its arms in a fresh fierce lust’.</em>
Would it not be a coral reaf? Home to hundreds of fish and under water plants?
