This poem is about the nature and how it is expressed in our world. It compares nature as an endless sky, a sandy dune, a gentle rain, and a tranquil breeze. The main purpose of this poem is to convey the message that nature never ends, and it is never ending beauty. Nature is something that has lots of deep and extended meanings in it. And it is a very special and unique gift from our god. This poem gives a mood of relaxation and peace, and it is written in a very inspirational way.I chose this poem because nature and poetry has lots of meaningful relationship with each other. Because most poets would love to write poems about nature, because nature poem usually gives vivid images, and creates lovable scenery in our mind. And most of the nature poems also sound very calm and beautiful. This poem has several poetic devices. Especially this poet used lots of metaphors and one of them are, “Nature is the endless sky” this metaphor is comparing nature with the endless sky because as I told before nature is a never-ending beauty. Another metaphor that I liked was, “Nature is a tranquil breeze” and this line is comparing nature with a tranquil breeze, and it means that nature is something that is very calm and peaceful. Another poetic device that I found in this poem is onomatopoeia and it was in this line: “and winds that howl and blow”, this line can also be a personification. The howls is the sound of the wind blowing so it is a onomatopoeia, and since wind can’t really howl and it is imaginary, this line can also be defined as personification.
