Winter: accepting the risk of sounding redundant; picturesque, paints stroke by stroke a painting in ones mind, Three**
There Blooms no Bud in May: One*
Noon and Night Flower: One*
Estranged: need to reread
I seem to primarily enjoy poems about loneliness, times gone by and the forlorn, wistful feeling that comes with it and only secondarily those that solely focus on nature.

The Bells: peaceful, had to reread, Three*
Nod: picturesque, immersive, Four*
The Bindweed: similarly picturesque but neither as gripping nor as captivating, Two*

The Bells: Might need to reread, as of now Two*
Scarecrow: One*
