“Those winter Sundays”
In the poem “Those winter Sundays” by Robert Hayden, I am guessing the author starts his poem relating an event that happened in his pass. Every winder Sunday morning, his father rise up from bed and put his shoes on in order to go out for firewood to keep his house warm.
When the house is already warm the speaker rise up from bed too and meet his father but not with any kind of affection but a bit afraid of him instead. The main theme of the poem is to illustrate the way his dad takes care of his son, the speaker. By that time, I personally believe that the speaker was young and did not understand much about love back then. Now that he has a mature mentality and has the capacity to comprehend this, he realize that his father was not just the “chronic anger” father and now he understand his father’s behavior that (lighting the fires, shining the shoes) was an expression of fatherly love.
