Poetry Response #2



The Kitten and Falling Leaves by William Wordsworth



I think that the writer, William Wordsworth,  wrote with great imagery.  This is a pleasant  poetry piece about a young kitten playing with leaves.  He describes the kitten's intensity and excitement when the leaves begin to fall.  "Through the calm and frosty air, of this morning bright and fair",  these  colorful descriptions of the leaves and the crisp cool air helps the reader to feel the changing of the seasons.  Wordworth writes about the kitten and the leaves as a hunter and its prey, as she attacks the falling leaves with ferocity. In this line he states " With a tiger-leap half way, now she meets the coming prey".  As I am reading this I can just imagine a cute little energetic  kitten leaping around, chasing leaves.
