I kinda believe they take it for granted, just like we do. It seems to be something of a default state among life on this planet.
I wonder things like this myself, Brook. Great poem!

Comment from Crusty
I LOVE these two lines together - but the last line. Wow.
As through the crimson fields I wander,
what of MY life do tulips ponder?
Beautifully written Brooke. Such a wonderful thought.Is the rest of creation, mindful of US. I wonder!
Bravo!. An exceptional piece. IMHO
Have a beautiful day.

PS: Still laughing at an earlier reply.
My mum is always shocked when someone is a little crude, or drops innuendoes of the sort. However, she can be a deceptive old-girl that actually loves it. LOL.

Brad, thanks so much - your mom sounds like a peach to me :-)
I'm glad you like this poem and the question it poses. Brooke
Comment from NightWriter
"I Wonder as I Wander" begs the question do tulips have brains that allow them to think. The answer may seem obvious, but then too viruses are far smaller and have no brain, yet are incredibly smart. So one doesn't really know. Poem is writtten incredibly well with nice rhythm and outstanding rhyme. Bravo!

Comment from Gaye Hemsley
Hi Brooke Very nice and colourful poem. Yes one does wonder if nature feels. I personally hate sport fishing where they play the big fish and they try to tell me fish don't feel. I always say 'How do you know,have you ever been a fish?' Anyway the rain has stopped and I'm off to have a wander and wonder. LOL Gaye

Thank you, Gaye. I appreciate your thoughtful comments - and yes, I always wonder how fish and animals who are hunted feel. Brooke :-)

You know, I really envy you for being able to rhyme so easily. I have to work pretty hard to come up with a good rhyme scheme. Oh well. It's all part of growing as a writer, I suppose! WOnderful poem, I really enjoyed it.

I work pretty hard to come up with many of my rhymes, Mary - I don't just sit and write one of these poems off the top of my head in 15 minutes :-) The trick is to make it look easy when it isn't - kind of like really good figure skaters who make jumping into the air and twirling around 4 times before they land look easy when you know you'd never be able to do it even if you tried a thousand times! :-) Thanks, Brooke :-)
Comment from bard owl
Now you have asked a very philosophical question regarding animism. When I was a little girl, I was positive that everything had feelings and acted accordingly. Scientists do say that plants respond to music and alert each other when they are in pain. I would say that is "feeling". Perhaps not as we experience it, but it is sensory perception. Very thought-provoking words laced in the simple presentation of this piece. Excellent, as usual. Blessings to you, Linda

I really like this, especially the last two lines. The tone of the piece is very thoughtful, yet rather playful, and it works nicely. This is a very cute little poem. Great job!
