I like the way that keats used the figurative language because it represents his high level of thinking.

While this poem does have beautiful tactile imagery of the bounty of Autumn, Keats does recognize that Autumn is the beginning of the end. When Autumn is over the full-grown lambs will be slaughtered and winter or death will come over the land. This is demonstated by the inactiviy in the second stanze "Thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours." And the slower pace of the second and third stanzas.

The tone of the poem is soft and mellow. The diction enhances the mood of the poem because it is feminine and slow instead of harsh. You would think this poem is written by a woman because of the words used. The poem probably comes across written by a woman because Keats describes autumn almost like a pregnant mother. It has a maternal feel about it I think the best line to convey that message is ‘conspiring with him how best to load and bless.’ This reminds me of a pregnant woman because of the words ‘load and bless’. This kind of language makes the poem seem to be written by a woman.

The poem To Autumn by John Keats has a smooth flowing rhythm and is a personification of autumn and summer. It is a wistful and mellow poem but is also very thought provoking. I think that this poem is very interesting in the way the poet conveys his emotions using landscape. It is like the autumn and the sun are working together as one.

i think the poem is the most beautiful poem Keats has been written,beacuse it is an indication to the begining of winter which consider as a destructive thing but Keats talked about the beautiful scences for autumn

i think this poem is an intersting one because the poem relates between a period of human beings' lives which is oldage and Autumn which is a symbol of death, ohd, and falling.
