Runaway , The Analysis

Once when the snow of the year was beginning to fall,

We stopped by a mountain pasture to say, “Whose colt?”

A little Morgan had one forefoot on the wall,

The other curled at his breast. He dipped his head

And snorted to us. And then we saw him bolt.

We heard the miniature thunder where he fled,

And we saw him, or thought we saw him, dim and gray,

Like a shadow across instead of behind the flakes.

The little fellow’s afraid of the falling snow.

He never saw it before. It isn’t play

With the little fellow at all. He’s running away.

He wouldn’t believe when his mother told him, ‘Sakes,

It’s only weather.’ He thought she didn’t know!

So this is something he has to bear alone

And now he comes again with a clatter of stone,

He mounts the wall again with whited eyes

Dilated nostrils, and tail held straight up straight.

He shudders his coat as if to throw off flies.

“Whoever it is that leaves him out so late,

When all other creatures have gone to stall and bin,

Ought to be told to come and take him in.”

this poem is very meaningful because as you read this the colt begun to runaway buy not listening to maybe his mother. as you read the last line (“Whoever it is that leaves him out so late,
When all other creatures have gone to stall and bin,
Ought to be told to come and take him in.”) this explaines that we need to "adopt" a person who needs help or have a tragic situations like runaway even we dont know them

The poem is saying that the colt/young horse is running away, it is lost and scared. The theme is YOUNGTH, NEGLECT, FREEDOM, and HOME AWAY HOME. The colt is still a kid... it is still young. It symbolized human kids. The colt is neglected by the authur and everyone. In the poem you see that he cares. But he didn't do anything though. No one taking action. Also, one other theme is that freedom is not always the best thing. The colt brought him more danger and troublkes to face. He is stuck scared in the snow and is frustrated.
