Okay... let's see if we can get past the start: which images are you referring to? What is it about them that makes them so good?

I shall ignore (for the moment) my nagging suspicion that you haven't read the poem, and ask what you feel makes the imagery of these lines so "great."

What messages? That it's late Spring/early Summer, the world is warm and bursting with burgeoning life, and we should seize the day: enjoy the delightful season while it lasts. Run, play, live, laugh, love are the specific and implied pleasures to be had... especially the last in its most passionate incarnation. It's a wonderful, Epicurean message, but also an exceedingly common one in poetry. What's uncommon about it is is mixture of Paganism and modernity (both in the title and the final stanza), implying that June's fertility rites remain a part of our present day world. Stylistically, it's less of a poem proper, than a short, beautifully written monologue bursting with poetic sentiment. Michael Pendragon PJR: Do you ever read the posts to which you reply?

Why would that be obvious, Donkey? I didn't incorrectly identify the poem's second stanza as its "opening lines." And you're mistaken. I read the majority of George's PPB posts... although I often have to search for the poem on other sites as my work pc blocks my access to blogs. Do you? (he asked facetiously)

I have the collected Carl Sandburg here, and have read hundreds of his poems in the last couple of years, this one was a new one for me, though. My memory isn't as sharp as it was when I was young, so what? > I didn't incorrectly identify the poem's second stanza as its "opening lines." But you /have/ forgotten what month it was, which I've yet to manage so far, Pendragon. The lines are great, the poem is great, something that can rarely be said about your dreary second handed rhyming crap, Pendragon. HTH and HAND. 🙂

ROTFLMAO. Apparently you didn't bother reading (or, more likely, failed to understand) my notes on the poem (above). Since you're too lazy to scroll up, I'll repost it here: The title, "Garden Wireless," sums up the poem's message as succinctly as possible: nature is sending us messages. What messages? That it's late Spring/early Summer, the world is warm and bursting with burgeoning life, and we should seize the day: enjoy the delightful season while it lasts. Run, play, live, laugh, love are the specific and implied pleasures to be had... especially the last in its most passionate incarnation. It's a wonderful, Epicurean message, but also an exceedingly common one in poetry. What's uncommon about it is is mixture of Paganism and modernity (both in the title and the final stanza), implying that June's fertility rites remain a part of our present day world. Stylistically, it's less of a poem proper, than a short, beautifully written monologue bursting with poetic sentiment. Michael Pendragon PJR: Do you ever read the posts to which you reply? WILL DOCKERY: Okay, good point.

I was working from my memory of reading the poem from two months ago, and the actual opening lines are great also. HTH and HAND.
