Notes About The Poem

Image result for pictures of Bobolinks

Boundless Joy

A Bobolink came whistling strong
Proclaiming boundless joy
Vicariously my soul was filled
What a golden ploy

Deliberately he sauntered near
My heart he touched supreme
All other stimuli counterfeit
Simplicity now my theme

Wrung dry the hills and grooves of gray
My orchard now adorned
With music from Redbreast settled
Upon the summer's lawn  

Inspired by Emily Dickinson

I've never heard of a Bobolink before, but it doesn't super matter, as this was a great poem. "All other stimuli counterfeit" ... really, a wonderful line. Emily Dickinson is an interesting poet, and some of her more abstract poems can be inspiring ... good work here, Sarah!
