The poem Geography Lesson describes the poet’s opinion of the land below when viewed from the sky. He finds the earth the least attractive from above and continues going higher up.
As the poet moves higher, he realizes that the country is full of cities and valleys. This made him realize that people are completely dependent on land and water for their existence. At one point of time, the poet also realizes that there is more water on earth than land. He also understands that there are many boundaries on earth that lead to hatred among people.

The poem "The Geography Lesson" by 'Brian Patten' is about the poet's geography teacher who always dreamt of visiting different places but could never make it.
When the poet was a student, years ago, he had a teacher who used to tell his students of his dream to sail to places that he had heard only in maps.
The teacher was a poor man and he could never sail to his dream places, he probably died unexpectedly. After the teacher's death, the poet went to those places that the teacher longed to visit.
[ The literary devices used in this poem are - personification in mind's eye, aliteration in sweet-scented and school's stranglehold, epigram in but a lesson he never taught and metaphor in ocean's glass - clear and blue.
