Question

2. What word, which might be more appropriate, does 'grass'
remind you of in the phrase 'a convenient grass? (Note that
Dickinson has deliberately used the article a-we don't say a
grass!)​

Answer 1

Explanation:

One can almost picture the poet, Emily Dickinson, sitting outside somewhere in a beautiful field as she wrote this poem about a bird. It describes one of those beautiful moments in nature that are so easy to overlook.

The grass is described as convenient due to the fact that the bird was evidently thirsty after eating the raw angle worm. This convenience was the same as when you get thirsty and there is a tap nearby from which you can drink water.
