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 like a poisonous tree until it consumes him. In contrast, the speaker in "Anger Lay By Me" surrenders his anger externally by acknowledging his 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 wrath.
