It is not like any other American Romantic poet. She has inspired so many, and this poem particularly sets out an abstract noun. When it is then discussed in concrete terms and images, this refreshes the abstract concept and casts it in a new light. Other famous poets that follow a similar setup are Grief is a Mouse, and Fame is a Bee by her

And then it came like an ice cream truck with its weird tinkling music, its sweet frost. I fled to the shore and saw how death strewn all the body parts washed up and sucked clean like that flora mosaic by SOSUS of Pergamon unswept house. Seabirds flocked and dematerialized like they do bees raged at their own dethroning. Love came close anyway found me out its warped music all the rage

Here are a few lines from him isn't how many times must the cannon balls fly? The for therefore river band? The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind. The answer is blowing in the wind
