SUMMARY
The poem I Wonder is a poem about a rather intelligent and perceptive child who is curious about her surroundings.
In this poem, the child is curious about the elements of nature. Throughout the poem, the child’s inquisitiveness is displayed through her questions about things which most of us have probably taken for granted.
She is keen to seek answers to questions such as ‘why the grass is green’ and ‘why the wind is never seen?’. As she looks at the trees, she wonders who taught the birds to build their nests. She also intelligently deduces that when the wind stops, the trees can actually take a break.
As she looks up into the sky, she has more questions about the moon, stars, lightning and rainbow. She wonders why the shape of the moon is never the same and wonders what happens to the missing parts when the moon is half or crescent-shaped.
Next, she ponders over the twinkling stars and likens them to a candle that gives light and wonders who lights them up ‘why they blow out?’.
She is further intrigued and wants to know who causes the lightning to flash.
Later, when she looks at the white clouds, she wonders why they are so soft and fluffy and who hangs them up so high.
The child is also curious to know that after a downpour, who paints the seven colors of the rainbow.
Since most of her questions have gone unanswered by adults, we see that towards the end of the poem, she shows her annoyance at her father because he fails to feed her curiosity and does not provide answers to her questions.
