Analysis and comments on Snow Geese by Mary Oliver

Comment 1 of 1, added on February 15th, 2009 at 4:45 PM.

I came across the poem snow geese for the first time yesterday 14 Feb. I loved it on first hearing and then when I read it myself a few times, I thought it was just amazing. I thought 'wow' what an amazing poem. The words 'what matters is that, when I saw them, I saw them, ' just blew me away. It just brought home to me about living in the present moment. In that moment the beauty of the snow geese just captures living in that moment in time. It did not matter if the person never saw them again, the memory would last forever. I just loved it. Cathy
