Question

What does the poet call the buttercup as? Why?

Answer 1

Hint: This question is taken from the poem ‘Meadow Surprises’. The poet blessings of nature in the poem. The poet talks about several things that are beautiful and the flora and fauna that are rich in beauty.

Complete answer:
The poet says that the meadows are full of novelties and bounty. He also says that someone who is a keen observer of nature can feel the beauty of nature and enjoy the greenery that surrounds him.
The poet has beautifully used figures of speech in the poem. He uses the word ‘buttercup’ for flowers and buds. He calls the flowers and buds as buttercups because they provide a lot of sweet nectar to the butterflies and they can happily sip the nectar from them.

A butterfly is considered to be a very beautiful insect and has a long and thin body. It has a very thin pipe-like mouth which it uses to sip the nectar from the flowers and buds. This seems to be a scene that is worth watching. Nature is so beautiful and has scenic beauty. A soulful listener can always enjoy nature and a keen observer gets to see the other side of nature that only few people can see. Nature is a miracle of God.

Note:
- The poem is written by Lois Brandt Phillips.
- He was born in 1942 in Massachusetts and has authored around fifty books. He was mainly the author of children’s books.
- The central theme of the poem is that the Meadows have a lot of surprises but can only be seen if the person looks carefully and ponders over it. If we look closely, there are beautiful butterflies that can be seen sucking the nectar from the flowers. The meadows have surprises for those who see and look closely.
