Summer grows old, cold-blooded mother.
The insects are scant, skinny.
In these palustral homes we only
Croak and wither.
Mornings dissipate in somnolence.
The sun brightens tardily
Among the pithless reeds. Flies fail us.
he fen sickens.
Frost drops even the spider. Clearly
The genius of plenitude
Houses himself elsewhwere. Our folk thin
Lamentably.

FROG AUTUMN BY SYLVIA PLATH
From guest zamre (contact)
In my opinion, Frog Autumn wrote by famous poet Sylvia Plath is very meaningful showed to the readers that all of living creatures are suffered and dying and showed the feeling of irony, satire and paradox in this poem. Now famous for her ritual flirtations with death, Sylvia Plath has emerged as a significant figure in contemporary American literature in the two and a half decades since her suicide on 11 February 1963. The tone is one important thing that the poet showed her emotion to the readers. The subject of frog and the little story about suffered for life is a simple sample or example to make the readers easy to understand about this poem. Finally, this is the best poem to show to public that our life is not always happy but actually sometimes we may suffered hard times, dilemma and trouble in our survivor. -
Her wording is very revealing.
She speaks of even flies being a failure, how mornings dissipate. Words such as "wither," and "thin," reveal how fragile life is and how quickly it can fade.
The gloominess of this poem is penetrating. How remarkable that she could write on such a cliched topic without making it cliche at all.
