Answer 1

The poet uses personification by giving the wind the human-like ability to tear off the husky rind. The use of imagery describes the blowing of feathered seeds that fall on the sun-baked, sheltering wall. The figurative language enhances the idea that late September is the time of the year when nature is in a transitional phase, and the seeds falling on the sun-baked wall signify the end of growth and a coming season of rest.
