'Fruitionless' Summary
The poem 'Fruitionless' by Ina Coolbrith is a brief reflection on the stark contrast between the vibrant industry of nature and the sometimes inert nature of human experience. It observes the lively energy of flowers blooming, birds singing, and bees diligently gathering nectar. This bustling activity is juxtaposed with a sense of languidness and emptiness that the speaker, representing humanity, feels. The poem highlights the disparity between nature's relentless productivity and the human condition, which can sometimes feel unproductive and devoid of purpose. Through its simple yet profound imagery, 'Fruitionless' invites contemplation on the human condition and the cyclical rhythms of nature.Book Details
