Big Yellow Taxi vs. The Field Below

Authors note: I am writing a short response on the two poems and how they relate to each other.

In both the poems the message was don’t take anything for granted. Both the poems had a tone of depression, disappointment, and frustration. The mood of these poems is sympathetic. In the poems the author is trying to make the reader feel bad for him or her.

The reason the authors wrote these poems is because they wanted the reader to know how they were feeling. "Big Yellow Taxi", is about someone who had something that got taken away from them. The author is trying to get the point across that you should cherish what you have while you have it. The mood of the music was completely different from the poem. In the song the mood was happy.
