An Analysis on the poem marrysong by Dennis Scott?

Answer 1

The poem is about the husband learning to understand his wife. Throughout the poem the poet speaks of the woman as a planet, with seasons and constantly changing geografical features, such as roads disappearing and wilderness reappearing. At one point he describes a moodswing as 'Wind brought him rain sometimes, tasing of sea - and suddenly she would change the shape of shores faultlessly calm.' The wind is shouting, the rain tasting of sea is tears, as tears contain salt, like seawater, and then everything would change, and she would be happy again. The next three lines he continues to talk about the difficulties of understanding her, using metafores like new countries forming and her love growing and shortening like trees seen from an unexpected hill. Both meaning that she is mysterious and constanly changing.

In the final three lines, he gives up on trying to understand her, and decides to love her the way she is.
