In Blackwater Woods

Have you ever love someone or something? In Mary O spankingrs poem, In Blackwater Woods, she writes about love. In Blackwater Woods, brought back a childhood memory that I had forgotten about. It was when I was eight years old and I caught these dickens little lizards. I had put them in a jar with sticks, leaves, and I even poked little holes in the lid so they could breathe. I loved both of them so much, that, I even gave each lizard a name. The lizards were not happy in the jar.I couldnt get them to eat or even move. My milliampere came and said to me, Isaac, if you really love those lizards you give let them go. And I was angry with her for telling me that, I couldnt just let them free. I knew that they werent happy, and I couldnt bear to watch them suffer anymore. So, I released them in the woodland and they ran off happily up a tree. It felt good seeing them happy, and I wise to(p) something that day. The lesson I learned is in Mary Olivers poem, In Blackwater Woods. She w rites about this resplendent forest of trees that smell of cinnamon, and beautiful ponds. This forest symbolizes happiness. Mary Oliver also writes about a black river with fire. This symbolizes loss, and sadness. She also writes something important, To live in this world you must be able to do three things to love what is mortal to carry it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go. This is the lesson I learned that day I let my lizards free. If you really love something or someone and the time comes to let it go, you will let it go, or you will live in the black river, and never cross it to reach the beautiful forest. The moral of the poem, In Blackwater Woods, is a universal one, its also one of the easiest to understand. Ironically, its one of the nigh difficult to do. Letting something you love go is a challenge, but in the end you will nearly surely reach the beautiful forest.
