Those Winter Days

I really like this poem, it's tone was a little different than the other poems we have read and I liked that. The tone was guilt-ridden or regretful and almost scolding or forewarning. The first stanza really shows this. It talks about her father getting up early in the morning, "in the blueblack cold." Blueblack just made me think of frostbite, it was describing that it was cold enough that a person could develop frostbite. The last line of the stanza, "No one ever thanked him.", shows that regretful or guilty tone.
The second stanza talks about how the father worked to get a fire going to get the house to warm up but the last line of this stanza confused me. It says, "fearing the chronic angers of that house." I'm not sure what this line means, I thought perhaps there was a family feud going on or the father was strict in disciplining. Perhaps the father even beat his children.
The third stanza shows more of that guilty tone and the third stanza was where I thought was that forewarning because it asks a rhetorical question. I also thought it was kind of like forewarning because it tells us all the things the father did and how unappreciated he was so it's like a warning to love and appreciate your father and family.
