    Mary Oliver’s “Wild Geese” focuses on the beauty of life as well as surviving its everyday challenges and difficulties. It is a perfect mix of both the underlying and the obvious meanings.

And even though such statement has no rhythm‚ nor explainable format‚ our brains are tricked into reading it with a softer voice‚ similar to the voice one spares for a child’s nursery rhymes. Regardless of how it is presented‚ Wild Geese is a motivational poem‚ and that
