Pl the sky is low — the clouds are mean. a travelling flake of snow across a barn or through a rut debates if it will go — a narrow wind complains all day how some one treated him nature, like us is sometimes caught without her diadem. the central image of this poem is a bleak winter's day. write a paragraph that describes how the structure of the poem to communicate this central image. cite at least two deatils from the poem to support your response.

The structure of this poem mimics the movement of a winter day. 

The first stanza mimics the movement of a snowflake through the air. The snowflake itself is debating if it will go across a barn or through a rut. It's not sure where it wants to go. Furthermore, snowflakes do not travel straight down; instead, they are pushed and pulled by the wind. As a result, the first line of the stanza is long, while others are shorter. This mimics the back-and-forth motion made by the snowflake.

Similarly, the second stanza mimics the "narrow wind." The length and sound of the lines mimics the howling nature of the wind, which "complains all day."
