Poems with a good collection of natural metaphors

I found Oliver's poems in this book to be very intimate. She has got the ability to capture everyday moments of love. For example:

In the poem "When Did It Happen?", she writes:

When did I first love you?
It was not a sudden thing.
It grew, like a tree.

This poem perfectly captures the gradual realization that one is in love. It is a process that happens over time, and it is often difficult to pinpoint the exact moment when it begins.

Another poem that I loved was "The Wildest Storm." In this poem, Oliver compares love to a storm:

Love, the wildest storm
I have ever known.

She writes about the intensity and power of love, and how it can both exhilarate and terrify us.

I think Oliver's poetry writing style is similar to other poets who write about nature and the human condition, such as William Wordsworth, Walt Whitman, and Emily Dickinson.
