Lying in a Hammock at William Duffy’s Farm in Pine Island, Minnesota
Looking everywhere provided by a sense of freshness and enjoyment of nature, James wright expresses his feeling of freedom. He may be old at the time he wrote this poem. Analysing this literature line by line, my opinion is that he is relaxing in a hammock (having a great time, enjoying nature with pure, clean air), and he is relating nature with all his life. He gives us different symbols such as: butterfly and chicken floating representing freedom. I consider that he also has feelings of emptiness, and this is represented by the empty house. The cause of that could be that he never had any children. Another reason may be that he was busy with his professional environment. The last line represents his deepest feelings of wasted time. It seems that he never had time to enjoy nature.

Comparing this poem with our lives nowadays, I feel that society gets involved in projects and activities that do not represent its priorities. If people were to die tomorrow, would they change their priorities? In my opinion, it is essential to represent who we are, and why we do what we do. In conclusion, this poem goes further in time and touches our hearts telling us to prioritize our goals, expectations, and objectives in life.
