Twelfth Song of Thunder Setting

Where It All Goes Down

The setting of this poem is, well, the great outdoors. There are no houses or roads or people. What the poem does give us is a sweeping vision of nature, which takes in natural phenomena happening way up there (thunder in the clouds) to way down here (grasshoppers in the grass). The poem calls our attention to both the big and the little things of nature and celebrates them all equally.
