"Big Yellow Taxi"

Author’s Note: This is a piece to describe the poem/song “Big Yellow Taxi.”

          This poem had a very good meaning that you can use in life. In his she means that the environment is getting lost because of everything being developed. This makes her sad because she really likes to see wildlife and nature but she can’t because of everything being built. The mood of this poem is sympathetic. It is sympathetic because she wants you to feel bad for her because everything Mother Nature made is going away because of mankind. The tone of this poem is sad. It is sad because she is sad that everything is going away that she loves.

          Now as far as the tone and mood goes I think that it doesn’t really go with the music. I feel this because in the song she sounds very happy and not sad. Even though this is supposed to be a sad and sympathetic poem in the song she sounds happy. She also sounds like she wants the reader to not be sympathetic. I feel that this could have been sung in a different tone of voice and using different background music. That is how I feel about the music off of the poem “Big Yellow Taxi.”
