Fruitionless

Fruitionless

by Ina Coolbrith

Fruitionless is a short, wistful poem by Ina Coolbrith. It captures the vibrant activity and joy of nature, particularly focusing on the work of flowers, birds, and bees. However, it contrasts this energy with the feeling of listlessness that humans sometimes experience. The poem reflects on the disconnect between the natural world's productivity and the human experience of stagnation.
