Your opinion about the poem

  • I am impressed by the poem and the poet’s thoughts. The poem, Indian Weavers has a positive and hopeful tone. The poet’s thoughts encourage me to go through the mood of particular stages of life. The poem is very simple but has a deeper meaning. In simple words, the poet defines life and life’s three important events that one must go through in the mood that is mentioned by the poet. The three types of garments are very much important in life human. Thus I like the poem very much.
