Hello! How are you doing?
Today, I want to share a poem I introduced in my English class.
The poem title is "Mushroom" and it was written by an American writer, Mary Oliver.
Let me tell you about the author first.
Mary Oliver was born in Ohio, America in 1935, and she published her first collections of poems, "No voyage and other poems" when she was 28. In 1992, she won the National Book Award. She writes poem about the nature and the environment issues.
The poem describes about mushrooms, as you realize from the title. The mushrooms growing on a dark greenish, damp ground...what can you imagine? The main theme of this poem is "silence". The words wetness, quitetide and fall mornings makes us think about the location.
What kind of place do you imagine through these words - "mushroom" "forest" "wetness" "quitetide" "fall mornings"?
In my brain, I imagined the world of an animation movie called "Momonokehime" by Atsushi Miyazaki. Do you agree with it or not? Please let me know:)
There are no truth of false in the imaginary world. This poem makes me realize the forest, where the humans have not stepped in yet.
Why don't you make an imagination of the places mushrooms can grow?
Thank you for reading until the bottom of this blog!
