Poetry can share emotions and tell tales. In the poem, “Those Winter Sundays”, authored by Robert Hayden, the imagery of winter, of regret, of time gone by, provides the feeling of a child for their father. The poem’s main point is that love can be expressed in doing deeds instead of being expressed emotionally.
The speaker a man or a woman—now grown— remembers childhood, wintry cold, Sundays. For the purpose of the essay the male pronoun will be used. It happened in the past in the (speaker’s) childhood home. Regret and new understanding motivates the person to tell the tale.
