Dear student,
I
1. The poem is 'My Mother at Sixty Six' and the poet is Kamla Das.
2. The poet was driving to Cochin.
3. She noticed her mother had grown old and her face looked pale.
4. Her mother's face was looking ashen and pale, devoid of the robust colour of good health. That is why, it was looking like the face of a dead body.
For getting more assistance on the remaining queries we would request you to kindly ask only one single query in each thread.
Regards
