The basement of the kitchen symbol of Trenches that in the early morning solder find die at the breakfast time.

The brown colours waves of fog  come at my face, but I change my face to another side, thare is someone who cry with dirty skirts, and birds are smiling with aimless smile in the air, like someone die is the symbol. And they are be lost from the level of roofs. In second paragraph symbolise as someone die. In WW

8)  The Red Wheelbarrow by William Carlos Williams. So much depends upon a red wheel barrow that shiny with rain water, besides the white chickens. I have two points is this poem one is the red wheel barrow there for trap that chickens go there and locked by red barrow. Second is for chickens that drink water from red wheel barrow.

9)  Anecdote of the Jar by Wallace Stevens. I placed a jar in Tennessee, it’s a name that given at the jar, and the jar was round as a upon a hill, it made a slovenly jungle that voice surround hill and jungle too.

The jungle rose sprawled around the jungle but no longer wild, the jar was round as earth and tall as dock in the air.

It symbol of dominance, as the jar was full with gray powder. They not give wildness and birds, like nothing else in tennesse.

10)  I by E.E.Cummings. A leaf falls on loneliness. I find one thing that symbol of autumn poem by john donne, that describe falls of leafs and loneliness of tree that without leafs.
