Nothing gold can stay
By:mackenzie matthews
Title
This title makes me think of how not everything good in life is always going to be there.
Paraphrase
Natures first plant is life
Its hard to hold onto nature when its being destroyed and brought down
The first leaf that falls is a beauty
But it doesn't last forever
More and More leaves will fall and it will be lost in all the leaves
You will get sad because you can't find it
You try to look for it but you don't succeed
It blows away and its gone
Connotation
I think that the author is talking about how nature doesn't always go as planned and it won't always be around.
Attitude/Tone
The tone is enlightening because its breezy and its talking about nature.
Shifts
The poem starts out talking about how amazing nature is and then it starts talking about how not everything good can stay and then it talks about someone sinking into grief.
Title
i think the title means that nature will not always be as graceful as it is and it will not always be the best at times.
Theme
i feel like this poem is about someone noticing that every once in a while something goes wrong with nature either its human causes or it just doesn't work out.
