Does anyone else feel like you are in the poem with him! His use of imagery is fantastic. Lizzie from Australia Comment 4 of 7, added on June 6th, 2005 at 1:57 AM. Yeah, it's all right, but the Survivor is much better, especially if you've read Catch-22 Trust me. And the Far Field is most Excellent, if you like Donnie Darko.

He was visiting friends and died on BAINBRIDGE Island (not Brimbridge). Geranium is an excellent poem. Thanks for posting. P. Kennedy from United States Comment 1 of 7, added on September 27th, 2004 at 5:57 PM. Does anyone know when The Geranium was written? I think this poem is amazing. You don't know how good you have it, and then it is gone and you don't have any idea what to do. I am definitely going to read more by Roethke. Thomas Horne from United States
