SECLUDED PLACE, by ELSIE ROSE GIVENS First Line: The remnant of an old fence Last Line: Bordered by stone and cedar lace. Subject(s): Fences; Nature | ||||||||
The remnant of an old fence With rugged rimmed circumference Still trims a shady weed-grown field, Guarded by trees and half concealed From Texas roads that smoothly lie, And wandering folk who hasten by. And oh, the song that fills the air! The rabbits find a haven there. Woodpeckers knock the sound oak trees -- All nature blends its harmonies In this off-road secluded place Bordered by stone and cedar lace. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...INTERRUPTED MEDITATION by ROBERT HASS TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: HOME by LYN HEJINIAN WRITING IS AN AID TO MEMORY: 17 by LYN HEJINIAN LET US GATHER IN A FLOURISHING WAY by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA IN MICHAEL ROBINS?ÇÖS CLASS MINUS ONE by HICOK.
