A Birthday Poem Analysis

Author: Poetry of Ted Kooser Type: Poetry Views: 591

2000Just past dawn, the sun stands

with its heavy red head

in a black stanchion of trees,

waiting for someone to come

with his bucket

for the foamy white light,

and then a long day in the pasture.

I too spend my days grazing,

feasting on every green moment

till darkness calls,

and with the others

I walk away into the night,

swinging the little tin bell

of my name.

This poem is about a cow..comparing himself in the first person narrative to the sun. Both the sun and the cow are viewing this pasture with someone to come to milk the cow "waiting for someone to come with his bucket for the foamy white light" The sun spends his time "grazing"-(looking) and the cow spends his time "grazing" (What cows do)..and they feaset on every green moment..sun--the greenery (forest trees grass) and cow literally feasts on every green moment--the grass. Both the sun and the cow wait around "till darkness calls", and then they "walk away into the night". You can tell it is a cow because begins "swinging the little tin bell" with its name on it. It's called a birthday poem because it is as Birth Day poem..the birth of a day. All makes sense now huh?? These are my interpretations.
