Poetry Response: Lilacs in September.

This poem was quite interesting. What i interpreted from this poem is that a hurricane came that september, and shocked many of the lilac flowers. Something that used to be so beautiful, but when this storm comes, they are "shocked to the root" in "a vacant lot." this vacant lot could be a representation of everything that got washed away from the storm, and these ashy dreary lilacs are all that is left. The poet decides to use a lot of heavy dense words in this short poem, i think to grasp the depth and the feeling behind it, trying to describe each part of this hurt lilac, and everything around it. how it hurts, how the branches are breaking and falling apart. how it has fallen to scant ash. and yet all around, the colored blossoms, the lively blossoms, on just your average day i assume, call out to passerbys to ask them, what will unleash itself in you when your storm comes? this is quite a heavy question. i was not expecting the ending of the poem to be like that. what will happen in me when everything is falling apart around me. what will be the ashy lilac? it poses a question that at the moment i do not know the answer. i think i interpreted this right. but i dont know if i like the poem or not, but i respect it. because it caused a reaction. i can appreciate the poet's thought and the depth of it. well done.
