Full Moon and Little Frieda

Full moon and little Frieda is a verse written by Ted Hughes. The poem is about Friedas first condition Moon, but in this poem, Moon checks her father, which is Ted. He is amazed at her for the first time calling his name. It starts of just equivalent this on a cool evening with dogs barking and buckets clanking with rovers web with dew facial expression like a mirror. And cows ar wandering in their pathway A dark river of blood, many boulders In the first stanza, he says as you listening, it means that hes trying to put you in his situation or current atmosphere, or in this case, in the barn.It is at night when the cows are getting ready to get hindquarters to their home. It is a silence night where there are spider webs with dews on it. In the second stanza, he shows us that the cows are going home in the lane there, looping the hedges with their warm wreaths of breathing spell, meaning that the cows are going back to their home in their comfortable lane and that they a re happy. A dark river of blood, many boulders suggests that he wants the reader to regard there is some sort of sadness when his wife left him because she committed suicide.But when Frieda cries Moon, his reaction changed become surprised and amazed because he is very happy to hear his name being called. I think it is not a sad poem, but some parts like dark river of blood suggest that maybe he is having a family trouble, which could be due to the fact that his wife committed suicide. This poem is well-written in a very simply English even though the meaning behind it is not really obvious.The first time I read the poem, I thought its just about a little young lady on a farm full of cows calls for the moon. But afterward a bit of research, I realized that Moon represents her father. The cows represent both sadness and happiness. I see that it is written in 3 stanzas. The first two stanzas, it has 5 verses. There is a lot of imagery going on in the poem that really put you in t he peaceful mind, the animals doing what they are suppose to do (going back to the farm because it is lately night already).I also see that there is no bout or rhyme in the poem. While youre reading the poem, the feeling of relaxed and chilled are felt. This is a short poem which I love as I cant stand long poems that literally need deciphering beforehand one can understand them. It had no rhyming or rhythm so one was free to put your one style into it which makes it to a greater extent fun. I liked the subject of the poem and it was to me a very meaty and well written poem.
