A Blessing

A Blessing by James Wright is describing two ponies. The speaker and his friend was driving on the highway to Rochester, Minnesota, and saw two ponies. The author uses a lot of imagery on the poem to describe the scenes. In the second line of the poem, "Twilight bounds softly forth on the grass." Those seven words well described the sunset and how the sunset interact with the grass. "They bow shyly as wet swans, They love each other." This two sentences describe how the ponies bow, which is very gentle and soft. "She is black and white, Her mane falls wild on her forehead." These two lines are describing the appearances of the pony. The second sentence vividly describe the pony. In the last stanza, the author beautifully describe the scene. "And the light breeze moves me to caress her long ear. That is delicate as the skin over a girl's wrist."
