Frog Autumn
Sylvia in this poem is saying she is going through a blank period when she is bereft of any inspiration, all is monotonous and dull and drab. Her muse is failing her. But still she manages to produce a striking poem, even though is is about barrenness of ideas.

This poem is an EXTREMELY good poem. It has MULTIPLE poetic devices. It several metaphors and the structure depicts the overall themes-monotomy and conformity. From what I can gather, this poem is about mother hood and how depressing and monotomnous it was for her. Look depper than "insects" and you find it's a metaphor for her children. She was severly depressed hence the depressing themes.
