Summary of It is Only a Twig by Amy Lowell

This simple poem by Amy Lowell is full of wisdom. The poetess talks about the abundance that is hidden in each and everything of nature. This abundance can only be maintained if we follow the laws of nature.

The poetess says if we plant a simple looking twig at the right place where there is enough sunlight, and water it regularly; this twig will grow into a tall bush from whose boughs will hang beautiful flowers in bunches. Its leaves will sparkle in the bright sunlight; from its root emerge freshness and abundant grass will grow beneath it.

However, if you keep the same twig and throw it in a closet, with other metal tools, it will wither and become useless dried up piece of wood that you would like throw into a bin.

The wisdom hidden in the poem is our life is like a twig; it will bear flowers only if we plant it in the sol of goodness and water it regularly with our hard work and perseverance. In the sunlight if God’s love for us we will blossom into a fully grown bush.

However, if we throw ourselves into the closet of evil deeds, we will wither up and be discarded as a useless thing.
