1924 (when the poem was written) -this time refers to the last period of the poet's work, which is considered the highest point of Esenin's mastery. This is a kind of summing up everything.
"Mother's Letter" is dedicated to one particular person, and all mothers, and the Motherland.
The first two stanzas are a string.It serves as a preface to the poem itself. The third stanza can be considered the development of the plot. Here we note emotions, and even tragedy. The fourth stanza is the culmination, showing the real feelings that the hero experiences to his mother. It becomes clear that, despite all the hardships of life, a person remembers about his mother, knows who owes his life. Further the plot develops according to a downward intonation (from the fifth to the eighth stanza). Here we will see some memories from the past, a detailed description of the hero's feelings.

In order to correctly analyze the poemYesenin's "Letter to the Mother", it is necessary to highlight the main images - this is certainly the hero and his mother. You can also note the image of the garden, symbolizing the poet's spring and childhood, and the image of the road (life path).
The poem used a large numbervarious expressive means. One of them is a rhetorical question, which opens a "letter": "Are you still alive, my old lady?". The question is rhetorical, because it does not require an answer. Then follows the lines "alive and I", respectively, the author knows in advance the answer to the question asked. Rather, it is an indication of the hero's experiences concerning the health of the mother, longing for her.
The main idea of the poem is that,that you need to love your mother. It is necessary to visit her, pay attention while there is such an opportunity. In no case can not forget about it, because the mother's heart is going through, waiting, yearning. The hero asks for forgiveness for a long absence, for his riotous life, for taverns, for fights. The main thing is to realize your mistakes in time and ask forgiveness from the closest and dearest person. It's mother that is the person who will love you all your life, no matter what. And, of course, it is impossible not to single out the image of the Motherland. He is also a key idea. To love the Motherland, to admire it, to remember always and everywhere - the poet adjusts the reader in such a patriotic way.
