Kate Knapp Johnson, in her poem “The Meadow,” share his experience of over thinking by creating a calm tone through his imagery. Johnson’s poem uses the imagery of the thinking by the window in order to make her poem relatable and understandable. Her readers know the feeling of looking out the window or onto a landscape to ponder on an idea. Instead of simply stating that the time has passed, Johnson explains that “two inches of snow have fallen over the meadow.” This calm imagery shows how lengthy and time consuming it is to space out, get lost in a train of thought, and over-analyze. Through the calm imagery of looking out onto a meadow, the readers themselves are getting lost in a dream of looking onto a beautiful landscape. Johnson connects to her audience in this short poem through this imagery and leaves her readers with a calm tone to begin their own lengthy thought process.
