Personification: Lodged by Robert Frost

Can the rain really talk to the wind? Can the wind really listen to the rain? Can flowers really kneel?

Well my theory is that all things in nature have some way of communicating with one another, so i believe they did talk, listen and kneel.

What are some of the effects that the tool of personification brings to this poem?

In the poem the personification gives the wind, rain and flowers the characteristics of a human being.

If the rain and wind and flowers were real people, how would one describe the event that is occurring?

If this was an actual event they would probably be in an argument of an work place.

If the flowers were real people, how do they feel after the wind and rain "smote" the garden bed?

I believe if the flowers were real people, they would think they were getting robbed or ransacked.

Speculate on why the spectator of the poem empathizes with the flower?

I think the speaker is saying that hes the flower and how he views the world as a flower.
