Analysis Of Sleeping In The Forest By Lucille Clifton

Lucille Clifton, Mary Oliver, and Pat Mora give a message about nature using personification in "earth is a living thing," "sleeping in the forest," and "gold." "(the earth) is a favorite child of the universe is a message about nature because the earth is the only planet with life. In the poem "sleeping in the forest" the line "I thought the earth remembered me" is a message about nature using personification because the speaker thought the Earth, plants, and animals would remember her but when she saw them they gave no sing that they remembered her. A message about nature is " when sun paints the desert with its gold" because the sun shines bright like gold and covers the desert floor. All these poems give a message about nature, I think
