Genius Annotation

The “Approach of Winter” discusses, well, the approach of winter. In this short poem by William Carlos Williams, he explores what leaves and plants go through as autumn leaves and winter comes. It is by no mistake that Williams makes this poem short because well, the coming of winter is a harsh and quick coming, and the poem is about how to accept the coming of bitter realities and how to make the best of your situations that are given to you. It is worth noting that while you read, you should pay attention to the length of Williams’ lines and enjambments in the poem because a lot of the key ideas of the poem stem from that and his diction.
