Nature Poems
Daffodils, tigers, autumn fields, and one very famous frog: the poems that taught generations how to look at the world outside the window.
English nature poetry got its constitution from the Romantics: Wordsworth's ten thousand daffodils, Keats's autumn conspiring with the sun, Blake's tiger burning in the forests of the night. For them nature wasn't scenery — it was a mirror, a teacher, and occasionally a sermon delivered by weather. Half a world away, the haiku masters were making the same discovery in seventeen syllables.
What unites four centuries of nature poems is a single discipline: attention. Looking at one thing long enough to see it — really see it — turns out to be both how nature poems get written and what they quietly teach. Today's ecopoets have added urgency to the looking, but the looking itself hasn't changed since Bashō's frog jumped.
