Question

The tone of the poem "Words are Birds" is

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Imaginative.

Explanation:

The poem "Words are Birds" by Francisco X. Alarcon is an imaginative but metaphorical work of poetry that compares words to birds. This simple yet profound poem uses imagery to paint a picture of words as birds that "arrive  with books  and spring". The ability of words to express different emotions and feelings makes it like a bird who is capable of limitless flight and can go anywhere in any direction.

Like birds, different types of words have different meanings, and thus convey different moods or themes. Some words are "messengers", some "exotic", some "migrate" while some "die caged", all referring to the different aspects of one's words on a person. The whole mood of the poem seems to be the importance of choosing one's words carefully when one speaks. The overall tone of the poem is an imaginative one, for it paints a vivid image of words as birds and providing a better understanding of the importance of using words carefully.
