THE FREEDOM OF THE MOON, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: I've tried the new moon tilted in the air
Last Line: The color run, all sorts of wonder follow
Subject(s): Moon


I've tried the new moon tilted in the air
Above a hazy tree-and-farmhouse cluster
As you might try a jewel in your hair.
I've tried it fine with little breadth of luster,
Alone, or in one ornament combining
With one first-water start almost shining.

I put it shining anywhere I please.
By walking slowly on some evening later,
I've pulled it from a crate of crooked trees,
And brought it over glossy water, greater,
And dropped it in, and seen the image wallow,
The color run, all sorts of wonder follow.
