Symbol

Definition: Something used for or regarded as representing something else.


Example:The winter apples have been picked, the garden turned.
Rain and wind have picked the maple leaves and gone.
The last of them now bank the house or have been burned.
None are left upon the trees or on the lawn.

Green and tall as ever it grew in spring the grass
Grows not too tall, will not be cut again this year.
Geraniums in bloom behind the windowglass
Are safe. Fall has fallen yet winter is not yet here.
Significance: Symbols represents and helps you understand things. Like the sign that says no smoking, it is helping you understand that you can't smoke there. It's no tolerated in that place.
