The feeling that can't be seen, called love, makes us irrational and helps us through tough times. In the Poem "Ode to Northern Alberta" by Billy-Ray Bellcourt we explore the pain and suffering conquered by love while also looking at how we make decisions based on emotions that may not be able to be explained. The poem's start introduces us to love and how people use it to cope without creating a setting. It states, "love keeps us busy while the smoke clears.".

I found the verse “If with romantic steps I stray/Around the fields and meadows gay,/The grass, besprinkled with the dews,/Will wet my feet and rot my shoes” (28) to be especially interesting because even if there were pleasures of life in the country, she could not enjoy them because she was too preoccupied with her work and accomplishing what she needed

Wordsworth and Muir express their fascination with nature using imagery and mood. In “Calypso Borealis”, John Muir states that he finds himself “glorying in the fresh cool beauty and charm of the bog and meadow heathworts, grasses, carices, ferns, mosses, liverworts displayed in boundless profusion” (Muir). The words “boundless profusion” appeals to the sense of sight and helps us imagine the scene and all the bountiful natural beauty of the place. The image shows Muir’s relationship with nature because it demonstrates his overwhelming, nearly spiritual, experience with nature. In the poem “I wandered lonely as a cloud”,

The poem talks about how the miner is in insane want to find the gold and get rich off it. Nature lures the man with gold into a situation where all he wants is the gold. By saying "I wanted the gold, and I sought it; I scrabbled and mucked like a slave."

Modern poetry is in open form and free verse.
