This is because of an author’s use of the poetic craft to form their vision. Ted Kooser’s poem entitled Mother shows great examples of intense imagery, symbolism, and irony to arouse the emotions of anger and hope.…

    The period of modernism in the literature has brought the new forms and the new ways of expressing the ideas. With the development of the imagist movement in the poetry, the free verse and the clarity of expression as well as clear language came to the foreground.

This simple and still engaging scene on the farm is, however, more than just a description of the rainy day, considering the sense that the author has placed in his visual images and the form of the poem.…
