If this was my poetry final, I would

I would disscuss the lack of verbs in the first stanza. also is the first stanza there are threatening diction "needle-sprays" "rocky ragged" "hemlock." the "single flat call" contrasts with the "ragged rocky sky line." the second stanza has verbs but has a sensation of winding down. the peculiar description of  the bug, why is the bug described as naked, what kind of bug has a white body and brown hair, what kind of bug dives into the water, the bug seems like its a person. this probably describes the humbling expierience one would feel when hiking. there is an exclamation point at the end. the nuthatch call sounds abrubt in its flatness compared to the chaotic imagery before. the splash is an abrupt change from the winding down feel of the second stanza. the line up through time is strange. there is a rapid change of pace from the chaos to the first four lines to the birds call, to the call coming "down from the tree trunks" and "up through time." this seems to show the unpredictablity of nature and the thrill of nature. this change of pace also gives a sense of action to the stationary imagery, showing how the peace and tranquility of nature have excitement as well.
