Abstract: Though not an outstanding poet, Thoreau was poetic. He worked poetically and appreciated nature poetically, which made him write poetically. Many ancient and modern poems were cited in his essay writings and some of his poems are inserted into the writings timely and naturally thus having created a new way of writing combining both essays and poetry. His essays are also poetic even though no poetic lines appear.

Key words: Thoreau, poetic personality, poetic meaning, poetic writing
