HAZY DAY IN THE COMPOSITION, by CLARENCE MAJOR Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: Trying for a tigerish kind
First Line: Trying for a tigerish kind
Trying for a tigerish kind.
Something like a horse.
Keep this in mind -- then blue.
The liquid world of geometry.
A lost-wax process.
Blue-mercurial.
Count the trees: four kinds.
Beach and sand then sky.
A dark alcove but less of it.
A column emerges briefly.
Yellow again then the sound.
All types then the sound again.
Pink baby in a white sack.
Bullfrog with green stripes.
As though it were a ghost town.
