This literary work delves into themes of personal identity, human connection, rituals of parting, and the complexities of emotional landscapes. Through a series of structured sections such as Garden Poems, Interior Designs, and Rituals for Parting, the poet navigates the delicate balance between inner vulnerability and external reality. The collection serves as an evocative exploration of the language of the self, captured with lyrical precision and depth. Dedicated to Sally Cross, the volume reflects on relationships, memory, and the seasonal nature of human experience, offering readers a contemplative look at life's persistent, often quiet, transformations. This volume stands as a significant contribution to contemporary poetry, showcasing Warland's nuanced ability to articulate the unspoken facets of our daily lives through imagery and verse.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":15,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/a-gathering-instinct-poems-by-betsy-warland/415238/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/a-gathering-instinct-poems-by-betsy-warland/415238.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Fans","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-04","2026-09-28",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":44},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"Who is the author of A Gathering Instinct?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The collection is authored by Betsy Warland.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"To whom is the book A Gathering Instinct dedicated?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"The book is dedicated to Sally Cross.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"What are some of the thematic sections featured in this poetry collection?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"The collection is organized into several thematic sections, including Garden Poems, Interior Designs, and Rituals for Parting.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},415238,1790894289,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":14,"category_name":15,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":44,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":139,"language":140,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":141,"faqs":142,"seo_title":143,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":144,"read_time":145},5909892330395,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_6f874abed73319feea01a86fa6f0fab8","GATHERINGINSTINCT  \nPoems by Betsy Warland  \n# A GATHERING INSTINCT\n\nBetsy Warland  \nFr Bor  5Aonnr  mym m a15000mybestms  \nya1   \nWILLIAMS-WALLACE INTERNATIONALToronto  \ndedicated to Sally  \nAnd I shall have some peace there,for peace comes dropping slow,  \ndropping from the veils of the morningto where the cricket sings...  \nW.B.Yeats  \n(iii)  \nMany friends have given me support during the pastfew years and I would especially like to thank thefollowing people.  \nI am grateful to my dear friend,Sally Cross,forsharing her knowledge and love of poetry with me,for her belief in me as a poet has been invaluable.A special thank you to my brother,Steven Warland,who has affirmed and assisted me with my writingfrom the beginning.  \nI also want to express my appreciation to myeditors,Janet Rogers and Gay Allison,who havehelped shape this book into its maturity.  \n(iv)  \nCONTENTS  \nTHIS FEAR RUNS DOWN OUR BED  \nSMALL STRANGER  \nTHE SIGH  \nYOU WOULD CLIMB INTO MY WOMB  \nYOUR BABY FOREVER  \nIF YOU CHOOSE  \nI CANNOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE  \nTENTATIVE TEARS  \nTHIS FEAR  \nCONFESSION  \nGARDEN POEMS  \nWHAT WE SEE  \nTHE WHITE KNIFE  \nI WANT A RITUALFOR THIS DYING  \nAND I MUST BE CAREFULAND IMUST BE CAREFUL  \nA SONG THAT NO LONGER SINGSINTERIOR DESIGNS  \nSHE TALKS WITH HER HANDS FLAT AND WIDEWHAM!
