How bleeding bark heals? Poem on killing a tree |
|
Answer» The tree\'s soft, pulp like inner part shows up when its outer harder bark is cut off. It has fluid drops on it. It has been called "the bleeding bark". The man\'s hacking and chopping make it bleed. In this poem, Patel is emphasizing the fact that killing a tree is not something that happens accidentally—it requires a prolonged attack and is an effort of will. He illustrates this by describing the process by which "bleeding bark" will actually heal itself. This is a natural process by which trees seek to protect themselves from attacks.\xa0 |
