The three last lines: Tell me the walking is superb. Not only tell me but persuade me. You know I'm not too hard persuaded. So truest

A spontaneous poem about living life and wishing to deal with the present, just wake me up!

That is why the narrator is asking 'Persuade me'. This is shown throughout the poem by the things the narrator wants to see such as the beautiful aurora borrealis

The poet feels that he is falling in the trap of laziness and wants others to give him a , so that he would cut off lethargy and get inspired.

The poet celebrates innocence, love, and the persuasive force that can shape our lives. The poem's charm lies in its straightforwardness and the universal longing for connection and awakening.5 Stars. Most deserving as the Modern Poem Of The Day. Congratulations!

He wants to know about anything and everything if he falls asleep, wake him up he wants to know if the northern lights can be seen and you must convince him, because he is not difficult to convince

I cite here SUSAN FOLKES last line in her response: It's a message not to take life for granted, a desire to share special moments.5 Stars for this precious poem

I see this poem as a plea for help from someone who would rather not impose on another but desperately needs someone to 'right' his/her sinking outlook on the world. The final line shows the narrator's loss of confidence/hope in herself yet also reveals the existence of hope he/she has in another's aid. Also, note the command in the previous line, indicating a slight, albeit modest, sense of urgency in the narrator's words.

See that I see. Talk to me till I'm half as wide awake as you Good write!

You know I am not too hard persuaded. Beautifully said.The poem flows like a river to reach its destination timely, as planned.

This could be about practically anything. I like to think that the author is worried about falling asleep in life and missing all the things that matter. He is worried that he is only half awake and that the world is persuading him to see only parts of his environment and not letting him be truly alive. I like stuff like this but its truly a shame that this doesnt rhyme.

Is it for lazy people to wake up early for walking as exercise, in the health point of view?

I think it is about those people that enter our lives and open the doors. The people who we never expect to come along. We don't plan for the meeting, it is the spontaneous nature of time and chance that puts these people in our lives that they change us, a sea change into something rich and strange.

Does anyone happen to know where/when this poem was first published? I'm trying to figure out how I came upon it in the 1970s in Vermont.
