1)- What do you think the author had as an inspiration for writing this poem. (Arihant Vats)
I think this question is a bit, hots type of question because here we need to know the feelings of the writer also describe it so it would be bit difficult.
2)- Is touch a feeling or understanding.(Manya Malik)
According to me this question is not that much difficult but here I am touched because when we will write the answer for this we will feel very comfortable because I love thinking about these type of topics or writing about them so I think this is a question which is attached to our heart.
3)- Describe the Interrelation between the poet and the reader. (Sanvi Sharma)
