Thank you for your good advice.(^^)/
Excuse me ,but I have a question about THAT .
B:It doesn't have to be THAT close to my work PLACE.
Why do you need THAT in this sentence？

Good question.
This is a bit hard to explain.
First - you do NOT need to use the word “that” the way I did.
You CAN say: It doesn’t have to be close to my place of work.
*****
I added the word “that” because
it sounds better rhythmically.
Do you listen to music? Or play an instrument?
English is a rhythmic language.
We like to use the sounds and rhythms and make sentences
that sound good just like music.
Your sentence is made up of small ONE syllable words.
The only word that is more than one syllable is “ doesn’t.”
As a result - what happens with your sentence is
it is TOO EVEN sounding.
If you think of a drummer -
They won’t just play: da da da da da da da da -
Because it gets super boring and you STOP listening.
They change it up. They make interesting rhythms and
they take us somewhere
with them that way AND so we keep listening.
“It doesn’t have to be close to my place of work.”
Da da da da da da da da da da da. There is NO change in rhythm- it becomes monotonous.
*******
When you add the word “that” it changes up the rhythm.
It quickens the rhythm and creates an accent - right at THAT.
It doesn’t have to be /// THAT ( downbeat) CLOSE /// to my place of work.
Da da da da da BAM BAM da da da da da
And it emphasizes the point of the sentence.
It makes it like - walk walk walk walk walk /// skip skip /// walk walk walk walk walk
Make any sense to you?

どういたしまして！
If you are able - try to read some poetry in English.
( Mary Oliver, Robert Frost, ee cummings, Wallace Stevens)
The poets use the music of the words in the most subtle and beautiful ways.
They will help train your ear.
Here is a poem by Carl Sandburg ( famous American poet)
Fog
The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.
*****
This is a very quiet poem.
The sounds and rhythms are subtle.
If you say the poem aloud-
you can hear the subtle long soft
sounds throughout the poem.
They make a smooth rhythm that
comes through like the fog!
You hear all the “ oh” sounds?
Here are all the “o” words:
Fog
comes
looking
over
on
moves
on
Then you can hear
the “ t” sounds.
They make a tap tap tap in the poem:
little
cat
feet
It
sits
city
silent
Then there is the overall rhythm and sound
of the poem - coming in like the fog
and like the cat!

Thanks a lot! I'm going to read those poems.
Fog, It's like Mother Goose poetry or Japanese haiku,isn't it？
I like Mother Goose poetry. Humpty dumpty is most famous Mother Goose poetry in Japan.
I see that it's sound beautiful poetry about Fog.
Imagine,I can see the most subtle scene of fog and cat.
What season is it？ I think that it is autumn or spring.
how about your opinion？
Thank you.

I just learned - this poem by Sandburg is called “ an American haiku!”
He made a poem in the Japanese tradition!
Pretty cool.
He is from Chicago Illinois.
I think you are right - autumn or spring. The fog comes in and then moves on.
My guess is that’s more typical in those two seasons.

About The journey by Mary Oliver
Today was not a good day for me.
But I was even more encouraged by the poem titled "the Journey" by Mary Oliver
that you taught me.
Sometimes, we all might get lost the way.
But the answer was quite simple.
the only thing you could do ... determined to save
the only life you could save
sorry,can my writing be understood?
thank you!

I wrote an English poem about "Fog" by Carl Sandberg
for you.Thank you for your kindness .
How about this poem?
*********************************************************
I met the fog
with my friend that a very quiet poem .
I realized that I had forgotten about the fog it is.
Because of the dry air this winter?
maybe so,
but
Recent failure,
my heart is so writhing like a fog. . .
What a quiet poem " Fog"is!
You taught me that the sounds and rhythms are subtle .
For me who is not a fisherman,
it does not matter whether there is fog or not.
but,unexpectedly the fog around me
and that looked me gently like you.
when I met the fog, my heart would be soothing
and clear with that like a blue cat's eye .
**************************************************************

This is a beautiful beautiful poem!
You are a poet - and in English, no less!
This is a significant piece.
Are you a poet and writer in your regular life?
( I hope this is ok to ask - if not, my apologies.)
I met the fog..... what a wonderful beginning.
Where you go and how you do it are woven in
such a lovely subtle and quiet way.
Bravo!
Keep writing. Keep writing. You are good. People need to hear you.

Hello!
Sorry for the delay in my getting back to you.
This is a lovely poem!
This bird is wonderful!
I do not want to tamper with your poem too much
( you know the word tamper? it means to interfere with or damage)
I can say some things, and maybe ask you some questions
But it is important YOU keep to what you are wanting to say!

What a rhythmic world, poetry is! This is how we would say this sentence.
This sentence sounds good and goes with your poem.
You could say instead: What a rhythm, the poetry world is!
The meaning of this is slightly different- it is saying the poetry world is a rhythm
The first version is saying: poetry is a rhythmic world.....this IS the meaning I think you want.
“ Furthermore” is a very formal word. You may want to keep it here.
It creates a long pause and a formal platform.
Furthermore,
life is as WONDROUS as a poem. or ( no the) life is a wonder as a poem.(not so good)
Life is a wonder, like a poem ( I don’t like this one)
You may want to work on this line.
What do you want to say?
Keep reading.
Keep writing.
Any time we wish.
****
Your poem is alive.
It has a fresh feeling and experience.
Your language creates that- this is very special.
People have a lot of trouble doing this.
Your voice comes through.
This is also rare and most important too.
You might be interested in reading Wallace Stevens.
He is complex, simple, alive, profound
You are reminding me of some of his work.
*******
Depression before Spring
The cock crows
But no queen rises.
The hair of my blonde
Is dazzling,
As the spittle of cows
Threading the wind.
Ho! Ho!
But ki-ki-ri-ki
Brings no rou- cou,
No rou- cou- cou.
But no queen comes
In slipper green.
*******
Beautiful work!
ps - Wallace Stevens is a special poet.
He has a huge range- big mind, big heart, big imagination.
Very special relationship to words, sounds, books.
He is difficult to grasp in one reading.
Sometimes he comes in though - all at once- you see!
Sometimes you read over and over, like a view of the woods or a mountain or the clouds-
something is there but it takes time to appreciate and understand.
He is using sound
- ki-ki-ri-ki
Brings no rou-cou
No rou- cou- cou.
Sounds like birds no?
and like doves cou-cou......

Thank you for teaching and gifting so many great poems while you are so busy.
I need more practice and practice .
I thought it was a miracle that “I met the fog “was perfect !!
Never meet like that chance for me easily.( > < )
I still can't think of English sentences straight.
First, I make a Japanese sentence. Next, I put on replace Japanese with English.
So ,
I want to be able to do all English sentence from first to the end.
And Tense (Past present future) is very difficult for me Japanese.
Japanese, tense is very flexibly .
Never give up,myself !
Next is about the most beautiful bird.
The truth,
I imaged the most beautiful bird that was you.
But of course you are a human ,I apologize.
By the way,
Unfortunately, as you know, Mary Oliver died last year,2019.
I thought her poem "How to Use Sorrow" that her words were very delicate and strong impact.
I'm scared a bit what a box full of darkness. Darkness has a deep meaning with like a black.
At last,this weekend,
I'm looking forward to reading the poems that you have taught,
Wallace Stevens. Onomatopoeia ？
That's a interesting !
I'm going to stay calm and read poems with some cups of coffee and tea.
Thanks to you, my life has expanded to something very enjoyable.
I read your text over and over and I'm going to try poems again enjoy.
Have a nice weekend! Good Luck with each other.See you.
