what five words to describe this

mending wall by robert frost

something there is that doesn't love a wall,
that sends the frozen-ground-swell under it,
and spills the upper boulders in the sun;
and makes gaps even two can pass abreast.
the work of hunters is another thing:
i have come after them and made repair
where they have left not one stone on a stone,
but they would have the rabbit out of hiding,
to the yelping dogs. the gaps i mean,
no one has seen them made or heard them made,
but at spring mending-time we find them there.
i let my neighbor know beyond the hill;
and on a day we meet to walk the line
and set the wall between us once again.
we keep the wall between us as we go.
to each the boulders that have fallen to each.
and some are loaves and some so nearly balls
we have to use a spell to make them balance:
'stay where you are until our backs are turned! '
we wear our fingers rough with handling them.
oh, just another kind of outdoor game,
one on a side. it comes to little more:
there where it is we do not need the wall:
he is all pine and i am apple orchard.
my apple trees will never get across
and eat the cones under his pines, i tell him.
he only says, 'good fences make good neighbors.'
spring is the mischief in me, and i wonder
if i could put a notion in his head:
'why  do they make good neighbors? isn't it
where there are cows? but here there are no cows.
before i built a wall i'd ask to know
what i was walling in or walling out,
and to whom i was like to give offense.
something there is that doesn't love a wall,
that wants it down.' i could say 'elves' to him,
but it's not elves exactly, and i'd rather
he said it for himself. i see him there
bringing a stone grasped firmly by the top
in each hand, like an old-stone savage armed.
he moves in darkness as it seems to me,
not of woods only and the shade of trees.
he will not go behind his father's saying,
and he likes having thought of it so well
he says again, 'good fences make good neighbors.'

Read sentence 13 from the draft. some plants retain a great deal of their foliage through much of the spring and summer, but the leaves do not retain their green color for long. which detail would be best to add after sentence 13 to develop the topic? a. since the green color of the leaves that are bright and abundant during the warmer months will disappear by the time it is fall, it is important that the leaves are trimmed and kept freshly cut so that they will last for as long as possible. b. while the temperature outside may dictate when the fall colors of leaves appear, it is only one of many environmental factors that play a part in the changing of colors from green leaves to fall-colored leaves during the cooler months. c. if people want to enjoy the green color of leaves longer, trees should be planted where the environment is warmer and the days longer because chlorophyll in the leaves can only be manufactured and replaced with sunlight and warmth. d. the green chlorophyll normally masks the fall-colored pigments during the warmer months, but as sunlight becomes less abundant and trees become frozen, the fall colors of leaves become more visible as chlorophyll disappears.
