How does the poem bring out the irony of human relationships in My Mother at Sixty Six?

1 Answer

The poet is deeply melancholic about her mother but she tried to divert her attention towards the beauty of the world but to no avail. The irony is that we come closer only to depart and we act like we do not know about it.
