This was my favorite poem to read because it was the simplest to understand. Spring is beautiful. The end. I just summarized the entire poem into three words. However, no poem deserves to be limited like that. I completely capped it's potential with those three words, and I blocked out the beauty that is poetry. Of course the author wanted to leave his reader with the message that spring is beautiful, but he wanted to use as many colorful words and scenes as possible because that is his passion and reason for writing: to embellish ordinary scenes such as this account of spring and make them magical.
My quoted lines are my favorite because they give an image of sheer and utter beauty. These pear trees are in full bloom, and they are practically touching the sky from the speaker's point of view. This image is the only definite way of embodying the beautiful mental image I have right now. Bravo Hopkins.
