The poet uses figurative language to allow the reader to picture how the season is affecting the environment. The line "cloudless wind" allows the reader to picture the clear sky as the wind blows. The phrase "tearing off the husky rind" uses personification to tell how the strong wind interacts with the earth. "Blowing feathered seeds to fall" gives the reader the chance to picture feathered seeds falling into a place where they can grow. Lastly, the phrase of "sun-baked, sheltering wall" gives the reader the picture of the sun shining brightly and giving off the feeling of peacefulness.
Grammatical Errors and Issues:
- The use of "the phrase of" is awkward. It would be clearer to simply say "the phrase" or "the phrase 'sun-baked, sheltering wall.'"
- "Allows the reader to picture" is repetitive—it's used multiple times throughout the response.
- The phrase "telling how" in the third sentence doesn’t accurately describe personification; it would be more fitting to say that it "attributes human-like qualities to" the wind.
- The expression "gives the reader the chance to picture" could be more concise, simply using "allows the reader to imagine" or "enables the reader to visualize."
- There’s an unnecessary redundancy with "the reader" being used multiple times throughout the response, which could be streamlined.
- The conclusion of the last sentence could benefit from clearer phrasing, such as "evoking a sense of peacefulness."
