On killing a tree - how does the poet create a feeling of sadness
in the poem?

Dear Student,
Given below is the answer to your question

The poet creates a sadness in the poem through the language
used
For example - It takes much time to kill a tree, not a simple jab
of the knife will do it
The process is described slowly and one can picture the killing of
the tree through the imagery used
Example - bleeding bark; root is to be pulled out; strength of the
tree exposed etc
