I would be a fox or a tree full of waving branches. I wouldn't mind being a rose in a field full of roses. Fear has not yet occurred to them, nor ambition. Reason they have not yet thought of. Neither do they ask how long they must be roses. And then what? Or any other foolish questions. Thank you
But the way that the author and I don't know when this was written but the way that the poet has sort of looked at certain things like the question of what then? Right? And the silly questions that we ask ourselves which for centuries have created these huge institutions that in a way has helped, but at the same time has created no more clarity than what we had earlier. And we spend most of our time trying to fill this hole that we've created for ourselves

She is a front runner or a forerunner in the arena of nature poetry and one of my primary inspiration behind beginning to write poetry behind my advent towards poetry. Also, I started my debut book Pastures of Wild Esters after reading her poetry extensively. So she's my primary inspiration too and quite similar to her. My poems are also based on simplicity of country life and pleasures of natural world. So thank you once again. Bye
Whereas there are some other species or trees which will remain evergreen for a long time, and even their leaves will have their senescence after a very, very long time. Same happens with flowers, same happens with so many things. I mean, if we go up north, there will be trees who will have all those fall colors in the autumn, and they will turn evergreen in the summers and in the monsoons and all

And such a deep thought is put across so beautifully in those few words, in those few verses. And that's the beauty of Mary Oliver. Loved it. Loved it so much. Thank you so much for sharing
So there is something a lot of good messages that you share with us in terms of your lines and in terms of your poems, so that we get to understand a lot and that also inculcates a kind of kindness, generosity and affection towards nature, even in our minds. So thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful swell. Have a great day

Thank you for encouraging words, Bookbot. As I said earlier, Mary Oliver is my primary inspiration behind writing poetry because of simplicity of her verses and wisdom acquired through happenings in the natural world. And because of these reasons, she will always remain my personal favorite. Too happy, Cindy
