- 3. Theme of the Poem Sugarfields is a poem written by modern American poetess Barbara Mahone. The poem expresses the feeling that ones’ identity and personality are shaped by ones parents and cultural background of ones family. The poet says that the talking of the trees and singing of the wind in the poem, are her mother’s language that never leaves her. She proudly says that the Sugarfields were once her home and she wants to taste the cane syrup again and lie down in the fields, never to get up. She imagines that the leaves go on whispering secrets as the wind blows a song in the grass.
