AFTER IKKYU: 49, by JAMES HARRISON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Jesus wants me for a sunbeam, I sang in sunday Last Line: A little boy bred this man with no thought of the future. Alternate Author Name(s): Harrison, Jim | |||
Jesus wants me for a sunbeam. I sang in Sunday school a lifetime ago, way up in cold country where there wasn't much sun. A sunbeam in winter made one recoil, and everyone stared mutely upward. The bogeyman still smiles, now from a glass of whiskey, then from a farmhouse root cellar. A little boy bred this man with no thought of the future. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A DOMESTIC POEM FOR PORTIA by JAMES HARRISON A LAST GHAZAL by JAMES HARRISON A REDOLENCE FOR NIMS by JAMES HARRISON A SEQUENCE OF WOMEN: 1 by JAMES HARRISON A SEQUENCE OF WOMEN: 2 by JAMES HARRISON A SEQUENCE OF WOMEN: 3 by JAMES HARRISON A YEAR'S CHANGES by JAMES HARRISON AFTER IKKYU: 1 by JAMES HARRISON AFTER IKKYU: 10 by JAMES HARRISON |
