Infinite Dreams, Little Trees

In the poem "Four Skinny Trees", the author uses extended metaphor comparing herself to skinny, small trees to show that no matter how poor, or weak one may be, they still have a fighting force to achieve their dreams. This outlines the speakers life and gives a reason to why she still fights for her dreams. The speaker wants a house, and not only just a house but the house of her dreams. She describes her current position, poor and flimsy. But she shows that she will fight for her dreams even if she never gets to get her dream, and she uses the metaphor to do this. A theme that i developed from this poem is that no matter how low down and poor one can be, we all still have dreams, and will fight to achieve these goals.
