Reminds me a bit of Sara Teasdale. I like her work because she deals with nature but somehow makes it human; she doesn't just describe birds and trees and so forth, but offers a subtle perspective on them. Same with this piece. There's something intimate about it, and the "calypso sun" was a beautiful touch.
