A Poison Tree

To me i find tis poem being about forgivness. The tree that grows is because the man in the poem cannot forgive and the tree is what comes out of him being angry. The anger is all he can think about so it becomes something tangible, an apple tree that grows a beautiful apple. I do not know if this is true because why would not forgving someone make something goode like an apple. Except it made sense to me when someone in class made the allsusion to the fairy tale snow white and that the apple could be a poison apple. That is why the man is glad to see his foe underneath the apple tree becasue he knows it will hurt his foe. That made sense to me because that also shows in the part "i sunned it with smiles, with soft deceitful wiles." This also reminds me of snow white because the witch pretends to be a nice old women so the decietful wiles is also in snow white.

I usually feel like i know what the poet is trying to say but with this poem i do not. The first stanza made me think it was going to be something about how you should forgive people. Then in the end i think the angry man kills his foe with a poision apple. well that is how the end goes in my head. so i am not sure of what the message is. maybe it is just a story but i really doubt it. I think it just goes over my head.
