(Poem #1134) In the Poppy Field Mad Patsy said, he said to me, That every morning he could see An angel walking on the sky; Across the sunny skies of morn He threw great handfuls far and nigh Of poppy seed among the corn; And then, he said, the angels run To see the poppies in the sun. A poppy is a devil weed, I said to him - he disagreed; He said the devil had no hand In spreading flowers tall and fair Through corn and rye and meadow land, by garth and barrow everywhere: The devil has not any flower, But only money in his power. And then he stretched out in the sun And rolled upon his back for fun: He kicked his legs and roared for joy Because the sun was shining down: He said he was a little boy And would not work for any clown: He ran and laughed behind a bee, And danced for very ecstasy. |
While browsing through the favourite poems collection at [broken link] http://www.photoaspects.com/chesil/favourites/index.html, I was surprised to see this unknown and rather trivial-seeming poem rubbing shoulders with the likes of Tennyson's Eagle and Coleridge's Kubla Khan. The anthologist's prepended note explained the poem's inclusion, saying that it was the *happiest* poem he knew - and while I was initially unconvinced, by the time I had finished reading the poem, sure enough, I couldn't resist a smile. It's hard to say just what makes this such a cheerful poem. It's not just the air of breezy exuberance - there's a charmingly innocent tone to it that reminds me of St. Exupery's "The Little Prince", an unaffected and altogether unselfconscious delight in life's pleasures that is a joy to read. It's also a very Irish poem, although it's hard to say exactly what I mean by that. martin p.s.

Indeed a memorable and delightful poem, particularly the
first two verses. What apt and striking words garth and
barrow; and what a powerful couplet The devil has not any
flower/But only money in his power.
It does however run out of steam towards the end. The
third verse is cheerful but adds little of substance. The
imagery becomes incoherent. How can Mad Patsy, who
stretches out, rolls on his back, kicks his legs and roars,
also run and laugh behind a bee?! That lack of clarity
prompted me to notice the ambiguity in the poems 5th line.
The subject of He threw should surely be the angel, in
which case He would have been better written as Who.
Knowing nothing of Stephens poetry, and puzzled as to why
any author of the finer parts of this poem could rest
content with its blemishes, I looked him up on the Internet.
Theres a collection of his prose and poems (but not this
one) at www.paul.rothwell.net/stephens/poetry/default.html.
IMO he is at his best in prose. The Crock of Gold is a
hilarious outpouring of crazy Celtic magic realism. By
contrast, his poems often have little to say, or the
vocabulary is banal, or the rhythm is awry, or all of that.
His willingness to publish so many that are mediocre shows
that self-editing was not his strong point. I conclude
that we are lucky to get from him a poem as good as In the
Poppy Field, and should just enjoy it and be grateful.
Anyone to whom it appeals would probably like also the work
of the Australian naive poet John Shaw Neilson (1872-1942),
an uneducated farm laborer who produced some lovely lyrics.
His widely anthologised The Orange Tree (available at
[broken link] http://library.maribyrnong.vic.gov.au/en/jsneilson/jsneilson
htm) has something of the same Celtic mysticism as In the
Poppy Field. Neilsons work has been out of copyright for
a decade, but not much of it is published yet on the
Internet. Publication of all of it soon is promised at
[broken link] http://idun.itsc.adfa.edu.au/ASEC/Other_Publications.html .
sorry, that website address for 'The Orange Tree' is
incomplete. It needs to end with a dot followed by htm.
I am thoroughly convinced in this said post. I am currently searching for ways in which I could enhance my knowledge in this said topic you have posted here. It does help me a lot knowing that you have shared this information here freely. I love the way the people here interact and shared their opinions too. I would love to track your future posts pertaining to the said topic we are able to read.
you have a wonderful talent of writing poem.. its really awesome.. you have done nice work.. thanks for sharing..
This'll be the best poem in my school. I did it by myself.
The last word this one spoke
was my name. The last word
that one spoke
was my name.
My two friends
had never met. But when they said
that last word
they spoke to each other.
I am proud to have given them a language
of one word. A narrow space
in which, without knowing it,
they met each other at last.
Thanks for taking the time to discuss this, but I am firmly convinced of this and love to learn more about the subject. If possible, acquire knowledge, would you update your blog with more information? It is very helpful to me
I found this is an informative and post. I think it is very useful and knowledgeable. I would like to thank you for the efforts you have made in writing this article. I am hoping the same best work from you in the future as well.
What a review! Very useful on the other hand obvious to see. Looking for more such blogposts! Can you have a twitter again? My wife and I highly recommend the idea in stumbleupon. The solution is being lost is the amount of dye. Even so appreciate your site.
