To match the excerpts with the categories of poetry, let's analyze the content:

1. Poetry of Place typically reflects the significance or essence of a specific location.
2. Poetry of Spirit often delves into themes of emotion, soul, or existential reflection.
3. Poetry of Nature focuses on the natural world, including elements like plants, animals, and landscapes.
4. Poetry of Family deals with relationships, experiences, and sentiments related to family members.

Now, let's evaluate the excerpt:
