William Blake's poem "A Poison Tree" explores the consequences of hatred. Blake describes two situations, one in which the speaker is angry with a friend and one in which the speaker is angry with an enemy, and shows how anger can manifest itself into something detrimental, inhumane, and deadly. Blake's portrayal of a bitter, wrathful, angry, and cold atmosphere, and his use of diction, metaphors, and symbolism, all depict the deep level of seriousness contained in the poem.
The poem "A Poison Tree", written by the poet William Blake is basically about the consequences of hatred. The poem starts off with the speaker describing two situations in which both involve anger and cold feelings. In the first situation, the speaker is angry with his friend, but due to the fact that he's a friend, the speaker confronts him about his feelings and they work out their differences and the negative feelings vanish. In the second scenario however, the speaker feels anger towards his enemy and this time, unlike the first situation, the speaker bottles his feelings up and does not express his emotions freely. This therefore turns into hatred that gradually builds up until it manifests into an apple; something that may look beautiful and harmless on the outside, but poisonous and full of venom on the inside (Adam and Eve).

A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed
Against the earth's sweet flowing breasts.

A tree looks at God all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray.

A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair.
The trees' thick foliage serves as shade and shelter for birds and other creatures. During summer time, birds rest on the "trees' hair" which symbolizes the trees' branches.
Under whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
During winter, snow falls thus covering the trees especially its trunk. Being sturdy, trees withstand the cold. When the rain comes, trees grow better and healthier. Their leaves are not only becoming greener but also shinier. The tree "intimately lives with rain" because rain nourishes it and makes it luxuriant.
Poems are made by fools like me
But only God can make a tree.
A person can never make a tree because he/she is not God. Only God has the power to create a perfect natural form like a tree. "Fools" was the term used by the Alfred Joyce Kilmer to describe poets just like him, who loves to write poems as lovely as a tree. In as much that, it comes from a person's product of his creations and imaginations.
