The document discusses and compares the poems "A Poison Tree" and "Anger Lay By Me". While both poems deal with speakers who are angry, they react differently. In "A Poison Tree", the speaker's anger grows internally until it is symbolized by a poisonous tree. In contrast, the speaker in "Anger Lay By Me" surrenders their anger externally by acknowledging their enemy has won. Overall, both speakers could not express their anger and were exhausted, but they responded in opposing ways by either internalizing or surrendering their frustration.
