Oliver has a fantastic knack for weaving quality of life into her poems. Running half-dressed into the garden? My--what a surprise. The peonies compared to lace is awesome; the ants as workers and as attending a wedding is incredible. This poems makes me want to stare at a garden full of peonies, drink in their fragrance, and do something juvenile--like jump into a puddle or sing in the rain.

From the very first line I fell in love with this poem. Green fists getting ready to break my heart...Oh my! Adoring the green grass with it's terror beneath..How did she come up with this? My 82 year old mother mailed a copy to me and we both felt the same way, amused, enchanted, enthralled. I think I'd like to read more.
