THE NICEST STORY, by ABBIE FARWELL BROWN Poet's Biography First Line: I'm going to write a story Last Line: The kind that chil'ren need. Subject(s): Writing & Writers | ||||||||
I'M going to write a story, The bestest ever told -- The kind that little chil'ren like, Jus' my years old. There's crockendiles 'n' fairies, 'N' chil'ren in a shoe, 'N' animals who talk aloud, 'N' a Princess, too! There's dragons on the first page, 'N' giants all the way; 'N' it's going on forever, Forever and a day. The nicest tales do finish, 'N' that is always sad. But this will have no ending, -- Oh, aren't you very glad? I'll write, and write, and write it, 'N' then you'll read and read. Oh, THAT'S the nicest story, The kind that chil'ren need. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CELL, SELECTION by LYN HEJINIAN OXOTA: A SHORT RUSSIAN NOVEL: CHAPTER 126: THE DOUBTING MAN by LYN HEJINIAN WAKING THE MORNING DREAMLESS AFTER LONG SLEEP by JANE HIRSHFIELD COMPULSIVE QUALIFICATIONS by RICHARD HOWARD DEUTSCH DURCH FREUD by RANDALL JARRELL LET THEM ALONE by ROBINSON JEFFERS ON BUILDING WITH STONE by ROBINSON JEFFERS A CHARM SAID UNDER AN OAK by ABBIE FARWELL BROWN |
