spiteful

peaceful

joyful

regretful

Stars in the summer seem very close to Earth

Summer stars are less vivid than winter stars

Some stars are closer to Earth than others

A night of summer stars is like a man with long arms

It gives the poem a somber, formal tone

It lets the reader relate the poems's subject to a familiar activity

It creates a mood of gloom and mystery

It emphasizes the connection between December and the weather

Fallen leaves on a lawn to a wide dish

day and night to the stirring of a spoons

snow falling out of the sky to crisp cornflakes

snow falling on the leaves to sugar falling on cornflakes

Nature is more interesting when there is bad weather

The power of nature should be feared and respected

The seasons are alike in many ways

There is comfort, wonder, and beauty in nature

Love will always find a way.

Nature is beautiful in its own way.

Some things seem closer than they really are.

Summer nights have a starry sky.

A man is trying to touch the stars.

Some things are closer than they appear.

Leaves are falling into a yard in the winter time and are compared to cereal in a bowl.

Leaves are really cornflakes with brown sugar.

Nature can be beautiful in different seasons.

Nature can remind one of other things.

Nature is unpredictable.

Leaves are really cornflakes.
