Diverse - very different.
When I read this poem I picture a dry desert completely silent with a little hint of wind swaying the tree’s from side to side slowly. I picture an open field with a bright blue sky. The heat is rising from the brown sand and the wind is creating ripples through it. As you look in the sky you see a big eagle gliding through the sky screaming through a dead silence. Once the bird leaves you hear absolutely nothing.
